Title

Presence of Uranium in Groundwater in Punjab: An Overview

Abstract

Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element found at an average concentration of 0.0004 % in the earth's crust and in low levels within all rock, soil and water. The estimation of Uranium in water may be significant for the hydro geochemical prospection and for health risk assessments. Uranium contamination can also result from human activities. It can be released into the environment from various activities such as the use of phosphate fertilizers, mining and combustion from coal and other fuels. Being a radioactive mineral, high Uranium concentration can cause impact on water, soil and health. This present work reviews and interprets the prevailing scenario in Punjab region, focusing on Uranium as an important environment contaminant where consumption of fertilizers and pesticides is the highest in the state. The high Uranium concentration observed particularly in certain areas along this track can be attributed due to interaction of groundwater with the soil formation of this region and the local subsurface geology of the region.

Key Words
