Environmental Physics

Water Quality

• Determine various parameters in water, including commercial treated water stations, untreated water stations, private household wells, and agricultural wells.

• Evaluate the suitability of water for consumption based on nitrate levels and World Health Organization (WHO) standards.

• Highlight potential health risks associated with high nitrate levels, particularly in untreated water and private wells.

• Provide data to support decision-makers in implementing strategies to reduce nitrate contamination and protect community health.

• The findings stress the importance of monitoring nitrate levels in groundwater and implementing appropriate measures to ensure safe drinking water in these regions.

Radiation in Water, Soil and Air 

• Measure radon concentrations in groundwater, air and soil samples using a RAD7 detector, ensuring accurate readings.

• Estimate the annual effective dose of radon exposure from both ingestion and inhalation for different age groups (infants, children, adults) to evaluate the health risks.

• Compare the results with international safety standards to determine if the groundwater in the region posed any significant health threats to the population.
