Abstract

Excess cancer risk from the ingestion of natural Uranium from the drinking water has been calculated according to the standard method given by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). There is as yet no final conclusion regarding absorbed dose delivered to population over extended time periods. Most of the authors in India and abroad have used the Model calculations based on Linear No Threshold (LNT) for evaluating excess cancer risk.
