Abstract

The soil samples collected from the selected locations were analyzed for 226Ra and 210Po activity. The activity of 226Ra ranges from 2.0 ± 0.4 Bq kg-1 to 12.9 ± 1.3 Bq kg-1, whereas that of 210Po ranges from 7.6 ± 1.2 Bq kg-1 to 37.3 ± 2.4 Bq kg-1. The activity ratios of 210Po to 226Ra vary by an order of magnitude from place to place. The systematics of these ratios on the distances of the sampling sites from catchment zone water divide towards neighboring river basins, have been observed
