Comments on Uranium Content Anomalies in Groundwaters of Fazilka District of Punjab (India) for the Assessment of Excess Cancer Risk
Abstract
In a recent article in “Research & Reviews: Journal of Oncology and Hematology”, Prof. Virk has evaluated radiological risk due to uranium content present in the groundwater of Fazilka district for the Malwa belt of Punjab, India [1]. As per the report, the uranium content of water samples of the studied villages varied from 121.95–366.00 ppb (μgl-1) with an average value of 198.198 ppb (μgl-1) [1]. The excess cancer risk varied from (3.45–10.37) x10-4 with a mean value of 5.01×10-4 and works out to be 5 per 10,000 people or 500 per million.
