  • Uranium-Thorium Concentration in River Water a Case Study of Pahang State Malaysia
    URANIUM-THORIUM CONCENTRATION IN RIVER WATER A CASE STUDY OF PAHANG STATE MALAYSIA 1GABDO H.T, 2RAMLI A.T, 3LUKA I.G 1,3Department of Physics, School of Sciences Federal College of Education Yola, Nigeria. 2Department of Physics, Faculty of Science Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). E-mail: [email protected] Abstract- Investigations were conducted to determine the radionuclide uranium-thorium concentration levels in the major rivers in Pahang state, Malaysia. Since the rivers are the main sources for water supply in the state, it is important to measure the uranium-thorium concentrations in the rivers in the effort to limit radiation exposures to members of the public. Seventeen water samples were collected from major rivers in Pahang state. The concentrations of uranium-thorium were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The samples were found to contain permissible levels of the radionuclides with a mean activity concentrations of 8.49 ± 0.34 mBq L-1 and 1.74 ± 0.27 mBq L-1 for uranium and thorium respectively. The ratio between thorium and uranium concentration is found to be 3:4 due to the higher solubility of uranium than thorium in water. Radionuclide concentrations obtained were compared with the terrestrial gamma radiation dose rate measured around the area. Keywords- river water; uranium-thorium concentrations; activity concentrations I. INTRODUCTION on environmental radiology, higher concentration of uranium and thorium in soil were found in areas that Natural radioactivity in marine and aquatic media are covered by granites and metamorphic rocks [9] mainly comes from the uranium and thorium series as and [10].

  • A Proposed Model of Household Waste Separation Behavior: Pilot Test and Instrument Validation

Although past studies have tried to explain the waste behavior from psychological perspective, there is little understanding as to the impact of environmental ethics and specific waste separation knowledge towards waste separation behavior. The aims of this article are to present questionnaire development based on waste separation behavior proposed model, pre-test, pilot test and findings. After obtaining 116 valid questionnaires from households in the district of Mersing, Johor, descriptive and factor analysis were conducted. The results from pilot test indicated that both specific waste separation knowledge and waste separation at source behavior were moderate. Early findings indicate that most of households reject the anthropocentric and technocentric ethics orientation. From the factor analysis, it can be concluded that the proposed model intended to predict SAS behavior warrant minor amendments which enable the model to be used in the future study.

  • Geostatistical Modelling, Analysis and Mapping of Epidemiology of Dengue Fever in Johor State, Malaysia
    Geostatistical Modelling, Analysis and Mapping of Epidemiology of Dengue Fever in Johor State, Malaysia Su Bee Seng1, Albert K. Chong1& Antoni Moore2 1School of Surveying University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. Email: [email protected]; [email protected] 2Antoni Moore Department of Information Science University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand. Email: [email protected] Presented at SIRC 2005 – The 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand November 24th-25th 2005 ABSTRACT Dengue fever, and especially the life-threatening form - DHF is an infectious mosquito- borne disease that places a heavy burden on public health systems in Malaysia as well as on most of the tropical countries around the world. Various environmental factors such as rainfall, temperature, living conditions, demography structure domestic waste management and population distribution are important in determining the mosquito survival and reproduction. A geostatistical modelling, analysis and mapping approach has been utilised in this research to understand the correlation between dengue fever prevalence, population distribution and meteorological factor, and the characteristics of space-time clusters in the Johor State. By supplementing GIS with geostatistical analysis and space-time permutation scan statistic tools, the spatial variation of dengue incidence can be mapped. Geographical weighted regression (GWR) analysis has revealed a strong (R2= 0.87) positive spatial association between dengue fever prevalence and population distribution in the Johor State. The dengue prevalence is expected to be higher in densely populated urban area, such as in Johor Bahru: however, there is a “rule” change in the Johor Bahru sub-district due to the positive impact from a dengue control and prevention programme.
