An extensive literature survey on radioactive contamination and natural radioactivity enhanced by different sources viz. the use of phosphate fertilizer, building materials (cement), phosphate rock, has been carried out. It has been found on reviewing the survey done; that radioactive contamination in India’s environment is not exceeding the limit prescribed by UNSCEAR, WHO, and AERB.
