Hydrochemical characteristics and potential health risks of nitrate, fluoride, and uranium in Kota district, Rajasthan, India.

This study examines the uranium, fluoride, and nitrate dispositions in groundwater as well as potential health risks in Kota district, Rajasthan, India. Total 198 groundwater samples were collected in both dry and wet periods and analyzed for physicochemical parameters along with U, F, and NO using standard methods. Results indicate that the electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, alkalinity, Ca, Mg, HCO, Cl, NO, and F exceed the WHO standard limits of drinking water in both periods.
