Abstract

This study concentrated on determining the levels of uranium present in drinking water samples obtained from various locations throughout the Shahdol district in Madhya Pradesh, India. In this assessment a LED fluorimeter Quantalase (LF-2a) was utilized. Uranium, being a radioactive substance, can be hazardous to health when consumed in significant quantities over extended durations. The study found that the average uranium concentration was 167.91 µg/L. 82% of samples exceeded recommended limits, emphasizing the essential aspect of this study. The study utilizes the age-specific biokinetic model developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection to examine uranium distribution across various organs. Using dosimetric model, the study provides a comprehensive health risk analysis by assessing the chemical toxicity and the radiation dosages received by particular organs. Longitudinal studies on uranium distribution across different organs and tissues showed that the kidneys, liver, non-exchangeable bone volume, and soft tissues are the primary locations where uranium accumulates.

利用生物动力学模型对中央邦 Shahdol 地区煤矿附近水源和人体器官中的铀进行风险评估。

这项研究的重点是测定从印度中央邦沙赫多尔区各地采集的饮用水样本中的铀含量。在评估过程中使用了 LED 荧光仪 Quantalase (LF-2a)。铀是一种放射性物质，长期大量摄入会危害健康。研究发现，铀的平均浓度为 167.91 微克/升。82% 的样本超过了建议限值，这强调了这项研究的重要性。该研究利用国际辐射防护委员会开发的特定年龄生物动力学模型来研究铀在各器官中的分布情况。利用剂量模型，该研究通过评估化学毒性和特定器官接受的辐射剂量，提供了全面的健康风险分析。关于铀在不同器官和组织中分布的纵向研究表明，肾脏、肝脏、非交换性骨量和软组织是铀的主要累积部位。

期刊介绍： Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers and review papers across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. Environmental geochemistry and health establishes and explains links between the natural or disturbed chemical composition of the earth’s surface and the health of plants, animals and people. Beneficial elements regulate or promote enzymatic and hormonal activity whereas other elements may be toxic. Bedrock geochemistry controls the composition of soil and hence that of water and vegetation. Environmental issues, such as pollution, arising from the extraction and use of mineral resources, are discussed. The effects of contaminants introduced into the earth’s geochemical systems are examined. Geochemical surveys of soil, water and plants show how major and trace elements are distributed geographically. Associated epidemiological studies reveal the possibility of causal links between the natural or disturbed geochemical environment and disease. Experimental research illuminates the nature or consequences of natural or disturbed geochemical processes. The journal particularly welcomes novel research linking environmental geochemistry and health issues on such topics as: heavy metals (including mercury), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and mixed chemicals emitted through human activities, such as uncontrolled recycling of electronic-waste; waste recycling; surface-atmospheric interaction processes (natural and anthropogenic emissions, vertical transport, deposition, and physical-chemical interaction) of gases and aerosols; phytoremediation/restoration of contaminated sites; food contamination and safety; environmental effects of medicines; effects and toxicity of mixed pollutants; speciation of heavy metals/metalloids; effects of mining; disturbed geochemistry from human behavior, natural or man-made hazards; particle and nanoparticle toxicology; risk and the vulnerability of populations, etc.
