Abstract

LED Fluorimeter has been used to measure the uranium content of the ground water samples of Mohali and Fatehgarh districts of North Punjab (India).33 locations have been selected for the present investigation. The aim of this study is to investigate the uranium content of the ground water in Northern districts of Punjab for sake of comparison with its occurrence in Southern districts of Punjab; and to assess the radiological and chemical risk due to the uranium present through ingestion. The uranium concentration of the water samples of the studied villages varies from 0.63 to 57.82 μgl-1 with an average value of 16.93 μgl-1.Theuranium content of all the samples in groundwater lies within the safe limit of 60 μgl-1(ppb) of uranium proposed by AERB, India.
