Retracted article: Age-dependent radiation dose due to uranium in public drinking water in Hyderabad, India

Abstract

A study was done to evaluate the ingestion dose due to uranium in drinking water.The area of study is the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, India. The uranium concentration in water samples was analysed by laser-induced fluorimetry. The associated age-dependent radiation dose was estimated by taking the prescribed water intake values and dose conversion factors for different age groups. The concentration of uranium varies from below the detection limit (
