摘要
Environmental isotopic study has been conducted in Faridkot and Muktsar districts of Punjab to assess the uranium contamination as well as to determine the isotopic signatures of contaminated groundwater. Results indicate that U levels range from 3 to 190 µg/L and ten samples are contaminated out of twenty collected. Uranium contamination is observed both in shallow and deep groundwaters but decreases with depth. Positive correlation was found between alkalinity and U. The δ18O values range between −9 and −6‰ and do not show any distinction between contaminated and uncontaminated groundwater.
