Concentration Of Radon In The Rain Falls In Salah-Din Province / Iraq

Abstract

Five regions in Salah -Din province Iraq were chosen to the study, concentration of radon in the rainwater falls in 2016. by  using long-term  technique  for  alpha  particles  emission  with  solid  state nuclear  track  detector  (SSNTD)  CR-39, which have been used to determine the above radioactive isotopes concentrations in the samples. The results show the presence of some radioactivity on the area of Bieja refinery and it was measured to be (2.606) Bq.L-1 , the min average in Balad was (1.006) Bq.L-1, in general we found that radon 222Rn concentration, in the studied water samples, was less than the allowed permitted limit which is about 18 Bq.L-1, and it has no danger on human being life.
