Non-ionizing radiation (NIR) exposure map development using GIS for Gong Badak, Terengganu, Malaysia
Public Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) exposure should be monitored by the government since it has proven harmful for human. Even though some studies reported that low frequency spectrum is safe, the other says that long and repetitive exposure may affect health. Thus, this study is conducted to measure...
