Correlation between gross alpha and beta activity concentration in soil samples with dose rates in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia

The objective of this study was to determine the gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in soil samples collected in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia. A total of 32 soil samples were collected and the dose rates at the location were measured 1 m above the ground. The gross alpha activi...
