Highlights
About 96% of all unfrozen fresh water is found below the earth’s surface and is known as groundwater
The objective of the present study is to find out the distribution of Uranium in Drinking water and find out the age dependent dose for the water samples collected from the coastal region of Neendakara,Kollam district
The uranium concentration in water samples is found to vary from ≤10.12 to 29.6 ppb with an average of 16.12 ppb
Summary
About 96% of all unfrozen fresh water is found below the earth’s surface and is known as groundwater. Groundwater systems globally provide 25–40% of theworld’s drinking water. Uranium is one of the natural radionuclides present in groundwater in minute quantity. Due to its natural existence, uranium is present in all environmental matrices such as water, soil, sediment, food materials, and biota. Its concentration in soil varies from 1 to 5 parts per million while in water, it varies from 1 to 3 parts per billion (ppb).[1] Uranium is a naturally occurring element in groundwater in some portions of Connecticut. Uranium gets into drinking water when groundwater dissolves minerals that contain uranium. Levels of naturally occurring radiation in water are not likely to be high in shallow wells. The potential exists for deep bedrock wells in Connecticut to haveuranium, most will be very low. High levels of uranium indicate the potential for radon and radium to be present
