摘要
Uranium concentration in drinking water samples collected from some areas of Northern Rajasthan has been measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The water samples were taken from hand pumps. The uranium concentration in water samples varies from 2.54-133.0 mu g L-1 with a mean value of 38.48 mu g L-1. The uranium concentration in most of the drinking water samples exceeds the safe limit (30 mu g L-1) recommended by the World Health Organization. The annual effective dose associated with drinking water due to uranium concentration is estimated from its annual intake using dosimetric information based on ICRP 72. The resulting value of the annual effective dose from drinking water sources is in the range of 2.11-110.45 mu Sv. The annual effective dose in one of the samples was found to be greater than WHO-recommended level of 100 mu Sv y(-1). Health Phys. 104(3): 251Y255; 2013
