Natural Radioactivity And Random Concentration In Soil And Water From Non-Cultivated Area Of Seberang Perai, Malaysia

Human well-being is compromised and jeopardized when over exposed to natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th, 40K) in soil and water and radon gas (222Rn) in soil. This thesis endeavors to acquire fundamental data of naturally occurring radionuclides concentrations (226Ra, 232Th, 40K), radiological dose...
