Abstract
Natural thorium radioisotopes (232Th, 230Th, 228Th, 234Th) are well known to be particle reactive, thus they are often used to study the geochemical process of particle reactive matter. In this study, water samples were collected from Langkawi Island and Pangkor Island from six and ten sampling stations respectively, to determine the activity of 232Th, 230Th and 228Th in dissolved (DISS) and suspended particulate matter (SPM) phases, and estimate the sources and origin of SPM into the marine environment.+J67
