Drinking water samples collected from different sources, viz., hand pumps, tube-wells, and public water supply from Sonipat and Panipat districts of Haryana, India have been analyzed for uranium and other physico-chemical parameters. Uranium concentration in water samples was measured using Pulsed LED Fluorimeter. Uranium concentration in collected water samples ranges from 9.1 to 155.1 ?g/L in Sonipat district and 14.9 to 123.3 ?g/L in Panipat district. It was inferred from the data that uranium concentration in some water samples was higher than WHO & USEPA recommended limit of 30 ?g/L. The mean cancer risk due to uranium in drinking water in Sonipat and Panipat districts was found to be 1.40 ? 10?4 and 1.63 ? 10?4, respectively, which is lower than the maximum permissible limit (<10?3). Total Dissolve Salts (TDS) in water samples of some villages in Sonipat district was higher than permissible limits for drinking prescribed by WHO & BIS. ? 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.en-USArticlehttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10807039.2017.1406305
