Abstract

The study was performed using alpha counting system at College of Science, Mohanlal Sukhadia University Udaipur, Rajasthan. Through the study, the observed 210Po activity in plant and soil sample from different locations in Bhoio Ki Pancholi area ranges from 2.45-173.50 Bq kg-1 on dry weight basis. The daily and annual intake of 210Po through water was also estimated and the mean value of 0.72 and 263.61 Bq, respectively, were observed. It is observed that the effective doses through water were higher than the World Health Organization recommended dose of 0.05 mSv/year.
