Radiation dose due to uranium in groundwater to the population of Chamarajanagar District, Karnataka, India
- 1. Department of Studies in Physics, University of Mysore, Mysuru (India)
Description
This paper presents the concentration of uranium in 22 groundwater samples of Chamarajanagar District, Karnataka State, India, estimated using an LED fluorimeter. The age-dependent ingestion dose to the population of the district is also studied. The concentration of uranium in groundwater varied from 0.7 to 15μgl-1 with an average of 4.89μgl-1. The annual ingestion dose due to uranium varies from 0.57 to 12.22μSvy-1, with an average of 3.98μSvy-1. The ingestion dose received by the population in the study area is less than the recommended limit of 100μSvy-1 by WHO. (author)
