Assessment of natural radionuclide in the soil in perimeter of UiTM Pahang Campus Jengka / Hisyam Abdul Rahman

Radionuclides such as Uranium-238 (238U), Thorium-232 e32Th) and Potassium-40 (40K) are unstable nucleus. It can occur naturally and known as second highest cause for lung cancer if being exposed for long period of time. UiTM Pahang campus Jengka is one of the branches of UiTM in Pahang. The stud...
