Health risk implications of high background radiation dose rate in Kampung Sungai Durian, Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia

Terrestrial gamma radiation dose rate measurement has been conducted around Kampung Sungai Durian (Kg. Sg. Durian), Kinta District, Malaysia. The mean value of outdoor terrestrial gamma radiation (TGR) dose rate and indoor in the area are 458 nGy h-1 and 286 nGy h-1, respectively. It causes fatal ca...
