Description
Sanjeet S Kaintura and colleagues map in 2026 natural radioactivity and potentially toxic elements in farm soils of SAS Nagar, Punjab, India. Fast urban and farm growth makes soil monitoring vital for food safety and health. Lab measures covered uranium, thorium, potassium, and a range of metals across the district.
Average radioactivity levels ran above global means for all three main isotopes. Arsenic and cadmium stood out as the chief pollution drivers, with uranium and chromium adding moderate effects. Cancer risk estimates stayed within allowed ranges, yet arsenic, chromium, and nickel still warrant watch and targeted soil checks.
