Potential alkali silica reactivity of various rock types in an aggregate granite quarry by Murlidhar, B. R., Mohamad, E. T., Armaghani, D. J.

“…Six samples of five igneous rock types were collected from the mentioned site and an extensive laboratory tests consisting of petrographic examination and accelerated Bar Mortar test were conducted on these samples to assess the potential alkali-silica reactivity. …”

Terrestrial gamma radiation dose rates (TGRD) from surface soil in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia by Norbani, Nor Eliana, Abdullah Salim, Nazaratul Ashifa, Saat, Ahmad, Hamzah, Zaini, Ramli, Ahmad Termizi, Wan Idris, Wan Mohd. Rizlan, Jaafar, Mohd. Zuli, Bradley, David A., Abdul Rahman, Ahmad Taufek

“…The greatest measured TGRD was obtained in an area covered by soil types originating from igneous rock of granitic formations, while the least value of TGRD was observed in an area covered by limestone composed of calcite mineral, mostly found near river and coastal areas. …”

Identifying areas of high economic-potential copper mineralization using ASTER data in the urumieh-dokhtar volcanic belt, Iran by Pour, A. B., Hashim, M.

“…These methods showed the discrimination of quartz rich igneous rocks from the magmatic background and the boundary between igneous and sedimentary rocks using the thermal infrared (TIR) bands of ASTER at regional scale. …”

The potential health hazards of chronic exposure to low-dose natural radioactivity in Terengganu, Malaysia by Garba, N. N., Ramli, A. T., Saleh, M. A., Sanusi, M. S., Gabdo, H. T., Aliyu, A. S.

“…Acid intrusive geological formation (due to the granite composition from igneous rocks), which is the most dominant in the state was found to contained higher mean TGRD values as well as 226Ra and 232Th concentration this was consistent with some previous studies.…”
