In the book, the concentration of radio nuclides viz. 226Ra, 232Th
and 40K has been determined in soil samples of Malwa region of
Punjab, India using gamma-ray spectrometry. The solid state nuclear
track detectors have been employed to estimate uranium, radium and
radon exhalation rate in soil samples. The fission track
registration technique has been used for the analysis of uranium
concentration in water samples of the study area. A comparison has
also been done for radon and its progeny estimation in Malout area
using defined solid angle absolute beta counting (DSAABC) technique
and solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) technique.The
literature survey reveals that the data for the level of natural
radioactivity for the Malwa region of Punjab is quite meager. The
detailed investigations for the measurement of natural
radioactivity have been carried out for the first time. The aim of
the present work has been to study the level of natural
radioactivity in Malwa region of Punjab for health risk assessment
and explore the possibilities of uranium, thorium exploration in
the region.
