The industrial units located in Eloor discharge their treated effluents into the river Periyar and the surrounding environs. The two major industries of interest with respect to NORMs are the fertilizer plant, processing rock phosphate and the monazite processing plant, which had been in operation for the last 50 years. For sampling, Eloor region was divided into four zones and a total of 55 water samples from different locations were collected and analysed as per standard analytical procedure manual of BARC. The ^210Po concentration ranged between 0.3 to 4.7 mBq.L^-1 and ^210Pb ranged from 0.6 to 4.3 mBq.L^-1. All values are well below the limit of 0.1 Bq.Ll recommended by World Health Organization. Statistical analysis shows a good co-relation between ^210Po and ^210Pb in the water samples analyzed and the mean activity concentration is found to be relatively high in the western region of Eloor compared to other regions. The annual effective dose equivalent to man from ^210Po and ^210Pb through drinking water intake were estimated and found to be 1.13 μSv.y^-1 and 0.99 μSv.y^-1 respectively, which is well below the reference level of committed effective dose （100 μSv.y^-1） recommended by WHO.展开更多
