Natural Radioactivity In Domestic Water Sources In Northern Peninsular Malaysia

Bioaccumulation of dissolved radioactive materials through drinking water is considered an important pathway for long-term health concerns. Thus, the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for drinking water radiological quality were adopted to screen the adequately utilized surface water resour...
