摘要：

Uranium estimation has been carried out for some water samples collected from Bathinda and Amritsar, which are cities of the Punjab state, India, by using a track etch technique. The range of U-concentration present in water samples taken from Amritsar was 17.87+/-0.18 to 20.23+/-0.20 ppb while that in Bathinda samples was 11.71+/-0.15 to 113.70+/-0.46 ppb. The daily intake of uranium by the population through drinking water has also been assessed. The high U-concentrations observed in the Bathinda area suggests that this area might warrant further investigation for uranium exploration purposes as well as for its potential health hazard effects.
