Gamma-ray activity concentrations, dose rate and hazard index determination of natural radioactivity in Malaysia’s selected tourism beach sands / Hamimmah Jamaluddin.
Natural occurring radioactive element materials (NORM) is a source of continuous exposure to human. NORM can be found in rocks, soil and sand. Gamma radiation is emitted from radioactive elements such as in sands. Malaysia was known as a tropical country, which is, consists of interesting attraction...

Natural occurring radioactive element materials (NORM) is a source of continuous exposure to human. NORM can be found in rocks, soil and sand.
