摘要

Public access to safe drinking water and protection of water bodies are key components of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Groundwater is the primary source of drinking water for a major global population, especially in developing countries. This investigation aims to appraise the health risks linked with uranium (U) in drinking water from the Chamoli area of Garhwal Himalaya, utilizing inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The measured U concentration in the analyzed samples ranged from BDL to 5.340 µg L−1, which is significantly lower than the World Health Organization (WHO) prescribed limit of 30 µg L−1. The computed values of health risk indicators suggest no threat to human health from studied groundwater samples.
