Description
The study involves the estimation of uranium concentration in 598 groundwater samples obtained from five different districts in Assam during both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Additionally, the research encompasses the monitoring of fourteen other water quality parameters. This paper specifically delves into the presence of nitrate and phosphate in groundwater and explores their correlation with uranium levels. Furthermore, for all life stage groups, the annual effective dose, as well as carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk, were estimated.
