Spatial Variation of the Radioactive Element Polonium-210 in a Coal Burning Power Plant Area of Malaysia
This study presents the results of Po-210 analysis in water, total suspended solid and sediment samples collected from a coal burning power plant area of Malaysia. Hierarchical cluster analysis has been used to classify the sampling station based on the activity of Po-210. The calculation of flux al...
