Uranium Translocation From Water Soil and Rock System to Various Plants and Their Components

Abstract

Uranium is a highly hazardous heavy metal and radionuclide. The distribution of uranium in rock, soil, fruit, and water has been measured in the Balod area. Samples were collected using one square kilometer griding technique from Jhalmala Paragaon, Parsoda, Dewerbatt, Pakurbatt, and Jagarata Deur tarai. The distribution of uranium is quantified within the ranges of 0.7 to 3.6 (ppb) in soil, 0.5 to 4.4 ppb in rock, 0.2 to 52.6 ppb in groundwater, and 0.2 to 0.7 ppb in fruit. The distribution of uranium has been confirmed through a satisfactory two-way Anova analysis of the Hβ 1,2,3 results.
