Abstract

The main goal of the study is to evaluate the activity level of gamma radiation from uranium (²³⁸U), thorium (²³²Th) and potassium (⁴⁰K) using gamma spectrometry with NaI(Tl) detector and concentration of heavy metals (HM), i.e. lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr) using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) in soil samples taken from different places of Saraswati River, Yamuna Nagar, Haryana in India. The mean value of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th, ⁴⁰K, radium equivalent activity and air-absorbed dose rate lies within the safe limit. The mean value of Radium equivalent activity and air-absorbed dose rate is within safe limits. The mean value of the corresponding HM is Fe > Pb > Ni > Co > Cd > Cr. The findings indicate that the level of HM in the soil sample of the study area is considerably below the acceptable limit.

印度哈里亚纳邦亚穆纳纳加尔什瓦利克山附近和萨拉斯瓦蒂河发源地土壤样本中 238U、232Th、40K 和重金属含量评估

这项研究的主要目标是利用带有 NaI（Tl）探测器的伽马能谱仪评估铀（238U）、钍（232Th）和钾（40K）的伽马辐射活度水平，并利用原子吸收光谱（AAS）评估重金属（HM）的浓度，即铅（Pb）、镉（Cd）、镍（Ni）、钴（Co）、铁（Fe）和铬（Cr）。使用原子吸收光谱（AAS）分析从印度哈里亚纳邦亚穆纳纳加尔萨拉斯瓦蒂河不同地方采集的土壤样本中的重金属（HM）浓度，即铅（Pb）、镉（Cd）、镍（Ni）、钴（Co）、铁（Fe）和铬（Cr）。238U、232Th、40K、镭当量活度和空气吸收剂量率的平均值均在安全范围之内。镭当量活度和空气吸收剂量率的平均值在安全限值之内。相应的 HM 平均值为 Fe > Pb > Ni > Co > Cd > Cr。研究结果表明，研究区域土壤样本中的 HM 水平大大低于可接受的限度。
