We analyzed the radiological and chemical risks of uranium in groundwater. The total sample number over 4 years was 498. There were several use patterns of groundwater in Korea, but we considered the risk only for drinking water. The geometric mean of uranium concentration in 10 areas in Korea was 0.17 lgÁl À1 . The excess cancer risks were in the 10 À7 level in the radiological risk aspect and the hazard quotient was 0.005 in the chemical risk aspect. Therefore, we could conclude that an adverse health risk is unlikely to be posed due to exposure to uranium. However, the concentration of uranium must be monitored periodically and adequate action taken in the few and small areas that contain high uranium levels in groundwater. #
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICPMS) has been used to measure the uranium content of the ground water samples of Fazilka district of Malwa belt of Punjab (India). Out of total 217 habitations having more than 60 ppb of uranium (safe limit of AERB for India), 30 have been selected for the present investigation. The aim of this study is to investigate the uranium content of the ground water in the Malwa belt of Fazilka district of Punjab and to assess the radiological and chemical risk due to the uranium present through ingestion. The uranium content of the water samples of the studied villages varies from 121.95–366.00 ppb (μgl-1) with an average value of 198.198 ppb (μgl-1). The excess cancer risk varies from 3.45–10.37×10-4 and hazard quotient varies from 1.56 to 4.67, respectively. The LADD varies from 7.06–21.18 (μg kg −1 day −1).
A Critical Review Of Uranium Contamination In Groundwater: Treatment And Sludge Disposal
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICPMS) has been used to measure the uranium content of the ground water samples of Barnala district of Malwa belt of Punjab (India). Out of total 115 habitations covered under this survey, 110 are having uranium content more than 60 ppb (safe limit of AERB for India). The aim of this study is to investigate the uranium content of the ground water in the Malwa belt of Barnala district of Punjab and to assess the radiological and chemical risk due to the uranium present through ingestion. The uranium content of the water samples of the villages under investigation varies from 62.91-290.60 ppb (μgl-1) with an average value of 127.90 ppb (μgl-1). The excess cancer risk varies from 1.78-8.23×10-4 with average value of 3.62 ×10-4 and hazard quotient varies from 0.80 to 3.71 with average value of 1.63, respectively. The LADD varies from 3.64-16.81 (μg kg −1 day −1) with average value of 7.40 (μg kg −1 day −1).
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICPMS) has been used to measure the uranium content of ground water samples of Patiala district of Punjab (India). Out of total 810 habitations covered under this survey, 94 were having uranium content equal or more than 30 ppb (safe limit of the World Health Organization). The aim of this study was to investigate the uranium content of groundwater in the Patiala district of Punjab and to assess the radiological and chemical risk due to the uranium present in water through ingestion. The uranium content of water samples of the 50 villages under investigation varied from 38.00 to 267.00 ppb (μgl-1) with an average value of 68.70 ppb (μgl-1). The excess cancer risk varied from 1.08×10-4 to 7.56×10-4 with an average value of 1.95×10-4 and hazard quotient varied from 0.49 to 3.41 with an average value of 0.88, respectively. The Lifetime Average Daily Dose (LADD) varied from 2.20 to 15.4 5μgkg −1 day −1 with an average value of 3.97 μgkg −1 day −1 .
Traces of uranium were measured by laser fluorimeter in 235 subsurface water samples collected from four districts of Punjab state in India. The concentration of U in water samples ranged between <2–644 μg/L with a mean value of 73.1 μg/L. The radiological risk was observed to be in the range of 5.55 × 10−6–1.78 × 10−3 with a mean value of 2.03 × 10−4, which is around 22% more than the maximum acceptable level (l.67 × 10−4) as per guidelines of India's Atomic Energy Regulatory Board. The mean of chemical toxicity risk, expressed as life time average daily dose (LADD) was worked out to be 5.56 μg/kg/day with a range of 0.15–48 μg/kg/day by considering a bodyweight of 51.5 ± 8.5 kg, water ingestion rate of 4.05 L/d, and life expectancy of 63.7 yrs for an adult Indian reference man and compared with the reference dose (4.53 μg/kg/day). The average exposure level of U was comparatively high and the chemical toxicity was expected to be more. The mean of hazard quotient (LADD/ RfD) for all four districts was found to be greater than 1, indicating that groundwater may not be suitable for consumption from a chemical toxicity point of view.
Pdf) Health Risk Evaluation Of Uranium In Groundwater Of Bemetara District Of Chhattisgarh State, India
The current study of the spatial distribution of uranium and water quality parameters along subsequent radiological impact due to uranium in the groundwater from the Buldhana district was undertaken. The chemo-radio toxicological dose owing to such dissolved uranium is estimated. The water quality parameters are compared with the World Health Organization and Bureau of Indian Standard's safe recommended limits and found well below. A correlation study was carried out between uranium and water quality parameters. Spatial distribution is mapped by GIS-based software. The chemo-radio toxicological risks due to uranium for different age groups were calculated. This finding in the study suggests that groundwater of the region is safe for drinking purposes based on a chemo-radiological point of view.
ABSTRACT Quantification of uranium in drinking water has great significance considering its effects on human health. Drinking water samples collected from different sources, viz., hand pumps, tube-wells, and public water supply from Sonipat and Panipat districts of Haryana, India have been analyzed for uranium and other physico-chemical parameters. Uranium concentration in water samples was measured using Pulsed LED Fluorimeter. Uranium concentration in collected water samples ranges from 9.1 to 155.1 µg/L in Sonipat district and 14.9 to 123.3 µg/L in Panipat district. It was inferred from the data that uranium concentration in some water samples was higher than WHO & USEPA recommended limit of 30 µg/L. The mean cancer risk due to uranium in drinking water in Sonipat and Panipat districts was found to be 1.40 × 10−4 and 1.63 × 10−4, respectively, which is lower than the maximum permissible limit (<10−3). Total Dissolve Salts (TDS) in water samples of some villages in Sonipat district was higher than permissible limits for drinking prescribed by WHO & BIS.
