&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Studies have pegged consumption of phosphatic fertilizers in Punjab at ten times higher than the national average&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The media has consistently reported on cancer deaths in the Malwa region of Punjab. While a definite scientific finding on the same is awaited, there have been varying conclusions which may, at best, be speculative in nature.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But first, it is important to bring out facts which are uncontested. Studies have pegged consumption of phosphatic fertilizers in Punjab at ten times higher than the national average. For potato, the national average of consumption is 15-20 kg per acre. In Punjab it is 200 kg per acre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Similarly, for paddy fields, the consumption is 75-100 kg per acre as compared to the national average of 10 kg per acre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Pursuant to the disquieting reports from the area, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in 2013 analysed fertiliser and soil samples from the Malwa region and discovered heavy concentration of Uranium. This was specific to the phosphatic fertilizer (DAP or Diammonium Phosphate).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the report, Uranium concentration in DAP was around 91.77 parts per million (ppm), which was way beyond the permissible limit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the report, Uranium concentration in DAP was around 91.77 parts per million (ppm), which was way beyond the permissible limit.&lt;/p&gt;

Hazards of using fertilisers in Punjab -Ashish Mansharamani and Abhimanyu Shrivastava

-Down to Earth Studies have pegged consumption of phosphatic fertilizers in Punjab at ten times higher than the national average The media has consistently reported on cancer deaths in the Malwa region of Punjab. While a definite scientific finding on the same is awaited, there have been varying conclusions which may, at best, be speculative in nature. But first, it is important to bring out facts which are uncontested. Studies have pegged consumption of phosphatic fertilizers in Punjab at ten times higher than the national average. For potato, the national average of consumption is 15-20 kg per acre. In Punjab it is 200 kg per acre. Similarly, for paddy fields, the consumption is 75-100 kg per acre as compared to the national average of 10 kg per acre. Pursuant to the disquieting reports from the area, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in 2013 analysed fertiliser and soil samples from the Malwa region and discovered heavy concentration of Uranium. This was specific to the phosphatic fertilizer (DAP or Diammonium Phosphate). According to the report, Uranium concentration in DAP was around 91.77 parts per million (ppm), which was way beyond the permissible limit. Please click here to read more.
