• Research activity being undertaken:

The research work is dedicated to monitoring of natural radionuclides in air, water and soil and assessment of health risks to the general population. Active and passive measurements of radon, thoron and their progenies are done in the indoor dwellings. Environmental impacts of natural radionuclides namely 226Ra, 232Th and 40K  in soils, building materials and related products are analysed. Water-quality parameters and natural uranium concentration in groundwater is determined for regulatory purposes.
