TL;DR: A terrestrial gamma radiation survey for the state of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya was conducted to obtain baseline data for environmental radiological health practices and the mean terrestrial gamma dose rate in air above the ground was 182 ± 81 nGy h(-1).

TL;DR: The results show that sorghum, millet, and maize have high values of Zn, Mn, Fe, low values of Cd, As, and Se, and the need to fortify biscuits and pastas with micro and macro-nutrients and reduce the use of tobacco, tea, tsobo leaves, Baobab leaves, and Okro seed to avoid intake of heavy elements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained baseline data of environmental terrestrial radiation and assessed the corresponding health risk in the ambient environment in Muar District, Johor, Malaysia in view of the possible construction of nuclear power plant (NPP) in the future.

TL;DR: Measurement of terrestrial gamma radiation dose rates in Terengganu state, Malaysia was carried out from 145 different locations using NaI[Tl] micro roentgen survey meter and the data obtained were used in constructing the gamma isodose map which shows the distribution of TGRD rates across the state.

TL;DR: To evaluate the radiological hazard due to terrestrial gamma dose, the annual effective dose equivalent and the mean population weighted dose rate were calculated and found to be 0.22 mSv year−1 and 168 nGy h−1 respectively.
