High uranium levels in water of 16 Indian states: US study
A Duke University-led study has claimed to find "widespread uranium contamination in groundwater from aquifers in 16 Indian states". "Nearly a third of all water wells we tested in Rajasthan contained uranium levels that exceed WHO's safe drinking water standards," said researchers, who took samples from 324 wells in Rajasthan and Gujarat and analysed previous studies for 14 other states.
