Zusammenfassung:Present work deals with the distribution study of naturally occurring radioactive materials in drinking water samples around Orissa sands complex, Odisha, India and assessment of the comprehensive ingestion dose to members of the public. The mean total effective dose to member of public is found to be 67.1 µSv/y with a range of 13.2–198.5 µSv/y. The average effective dose is below the reference level of 100 µSv/y and also comparable with the range of global annual ingestion dose value reported worldwide. The activity concentration in drinking water reported here is due to natural distribution of radioanuclides.
