The potential health hazards of chronic exposure to low-dose natural radioactivity in Terengganu, Malaysia. Environmental Earth Sciences, 75, 1-12.https://repoemc.ukm.my/handle/123456789/1270Malaysia is planning to add nuclear energy to its national electricity grid; hence the knowledge of the levels of exposure to natural background radioactivity is important for policies and law making with regards to radiological protection of both human and the environment. The aim of this work was to measure the variation of background radiation with respect to geological formations of Terengganu (Malaysia) and assess the potential health hazards that are associated with the chronic exposure to natural radiation in the area.enNatural radiationAnnual effective doseHealth hazardCancer risk232Th226Ra40KJournal
