A study has been done to assess the uranium intake through drinking water. The area of study is twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, India. Uranium concentration in water samples was analysed by laser-induced fluorimetry. The associated age-dependent uranium intake was estimated by taking the prescribed water intake values. The concentration of uranium varies from below detectable level (minimum detectable level = 0.20 ± 0.02 μg l(-1)) to 2.50 ± 0.18 μg l(-1), with the geometric mean (GM) of 0.67 μg l(-1) in tap water, whereas in ground water, the range is 0.60 ± 0.05 to 82 ± 7.1 µg l(-1) with GM of 10.07 µg l(-1). The daily intake of uranium by drinking water pathway through tap water for various age groups is found to vary from 0.14 to 9.50 µg d(-1) with mean of 1.55 µg d(-1).
已开展一项研究以评估通过饮用水摄入铀的情况。研究区域为印度海得拉巴和塞康德拉巴德这两座双子城。通过激光诱导荧光法分析水样中的铀浓度。通过采用规定的水摄入量值来估算相关的随年龄变化的铀摄入量。铀浓度范围从低于可检测水平（最低可检测水平 = 0.20 ± 0.02 μg l(-1)）到2.50 ± 0.18 μg l(-1)，自来水中的几何平均值（GM）为0.67 μg l(-1)，而在地下水中，范围是0.60 ± 0.05至82 ± 7.1 µg l(-1)，GM为10.07 µg l(-1)。发现不同年龄组通过自来水经饮用水途径摄入铀的每日摄入量在0.14至9.50 µg d(-1)之间变化，平均值为1.55 µg d(-1)。
