The soil-to-plant transfer factors of natural uranium isotopes (238U and 232Th)  were studied in Luong My tea farm, Tan Thanh district, Luong Son commune, HoaBinh province. The activity concentrations in leaves, trunk and root were determined for the tea tree at no harvest period (winter break). The measurements were carried out using gamma spectroscopy with high puritygermanium detector HPGe. Research results show that the activity of 238U and 232Th is higher in leaves than in trunk and roots.Soil-leaves transfer factor (TF) for238U and 232Th were as follows:TFU238 = 0,52 – 0,87; TFTh-232 = 0,25 – 0,43.

This paper deals with the analysis of natural radionuclide content in 23 water samples collected in the vicinity of the Nikola Tesla B thermal power plant, Serbia. All samples were analyzed for 226Ra and uranium isotopes (238U, 234U) activity using radiochemical methods and alpha spectrometry. Obtained results show that the activity concentrations for uranium and radium in the water around the thermal power plant are low when compared to those from areas across Serbia with their enhanced natural uranium and radium content. No important radiological hazard related to uranium and radium activity stored in heap was found.

India is a developing nation and is dependent on its natural resources for growth and development. Water, being one of the vital natural resource, must be used judicially for the sustainable development. Present study focuses on the analysis of physicochemical parameters (pH, Turbidity, Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Total dissolved solids, Conductivity, Chloride, Sulfate, Fluoride contents) of ground water and surface water in Kota City (Rajasthan). The study shows the adverse impact of exploitation and urbanization on water resources of Kota City (Rajasthan). Some physicochemical parameters exceed the desirable limits as defined by WHO and Indian Standards in the selected sites. The level of pollution in ground water and surface water of Kota City is increasing due to urbanization.
