Abstract :

. Selenium & Radon with hard chemicals shows the major impact on soil & Ground water found in data collection from villages from Malwa zone of Punjab (India). Some other chemical ingredients like SiO₂, Al₂O₃ and K₂O observed in researches. Naturally radioactive nuclei’s ²²⁶Ra,²³²Th & ⁴⁰K found with effective activity in soil & water. These materials put a hazardous impact when came in contact with human body for long time and ultimately causing the serious health issues. Results from the research resemble the large number of the health problems rising in the region. Since major part of the economy is agriculture in the region, hence impact of the health problems on human and crops has been observed on economic conditions of the local farmers. Lack of the scientific research is also a factor in the problems.
