Assessment of topsoil contamination in an urbanized interfluve region of Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) using magnetic measurements and spectroscopic techniques

TL;DR: This is the first study of MS soil survey of the interfluve region at the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers comprising 490 samples from 49 locations and the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy data showed the presence of heavy and light elements supporting MS data.

Investigation of the radiation risk due to environmental contamination by 241Am from lightning rods disposed at uncontrolled garbage dumps

TL;DR: Estimated doses were about 20-times below the effective dose limit of 1 mSv year−1 for members of the public as recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, suggesting the radiation risk caused by lightning rods disposed at uncontrolled garbage dumps to be low.
