TL;DR: The activity concentrations and the gamma-absorbed dose rates of the terrestrial naturally occurring radio nuclides viz. 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were determined in soil samples collected from some areas of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, using gamma ray spectrometry.

TL;DR: Gamma-rays interaction parameters with six polymer and plastic materials have been computed and investigated for their shielding behaviours in the experimental energy range 10-1400-kV as discussed by the authors. But, their performance was limited by the low mass-density and ability to transform into thin-sheets of H-containing plastic and polymer materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a soil sample collected from some areas of Himachal Pradesh, India using γ-ray spectrometry has been carried out and the measured activity in soil ranges from 42.09 to 79.5% with mean values of 57.34, 82.22 and 135.75% respectively.

TL;DR: A positive correlation of conductance, nitrate, chloride, sodium, potassium, magnesium, TDS, calcium and hardness with uranium concentration has been observed, however, no correlation has be observed between the concentration of uranium and the heavy metals analysed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated trace metal (Li, Be, B, Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Mo, Sb and Pb) concentrations of drinking water samples in northeast Rajasthan, India.
