Uranium in water samples from Chetanpura

Traces of metallic element in water samples taken from Chetanpura close to Amritsar has taken the scientists hastily, WHO have stressed on taking preventive measures for defense against serious medical complications, as well as cancer.

Professor Surinder Singh of the department of physics, Nanak Dev University, told TOI on Th that whereas completing metallic element studies in geographic region, they'd found six out of thirty water samples with high metallic element content from Chetanpura village alone. "These ar the initial findings. we've to establish the presence of metallic element in water through different techniques before giving out the ultimate results," he said.

The GNDU department is completing a study on presence of metallic element and different serious metals in geographic region beneath a project given by Bhaba Atomic analysis Centre (BARC), Mumbai. He aforesaid they found many cases of cancer, particularly abdomen and blood, within the region. "Besides metallic element, high content of poisonous pesticides and fertilizers can be the explanation behind the cancer irruption," he said.

Earlier, in 1995 the department had confirmed the presence of metallic element and different serious metals on the far side permissible levels within the water samples taken from Bathinda. "Government may have taken a choice in 1995 to put in artificial language (reverse osmosis) systems that may have helped lower the harm to citizenry," he said. Following GNDU's report, he added, several foreign laboratories conducted their own investigations within the region.

Uranium estimation was dispensed for a few water samples collected from Bathinda and Amritsar in 1995, said Singh. The vary of metallic element concentration gift in water samples taken from Bathinda was eleven.71 to 113.70 microgram/liter, whereas in Amritsar it had been found to be eleven.78 to 20.23 microgram/liter of water. The university has currently started a joint elaborated study on metallic element and different serious metals in geographic region unitedly with the Board of analysis in Nuclear Sciences. The department was conjointly conducting another study on Radon/Thoron and relative measurements within the dwellings of Himachal Pradesh and high heat manufacturing granitic regions of Tosham falling beneath the Bhiwani district of Haryana. The study would be dispensed in one hundred dwellings every of Toshan and a few areas of Himachal Pardesh.
