Why is it important?

Marine food is a main source of protein to the Malaysians. Fishes, crustaceans and molluscs food major seafoods consumed by the population. Since food ingestion is a main source of internal exposure to ionising radiation. It is important to measure the level of natural radionuclides in the food consumed by any population in order to estimated any radiological health hazards indices associated with them. The study is a contribution to the efforts in monitoring the level of exposure of Malaysians to ionising radiation from all sources.
