Abstract

In this study, the assessment of radon concentration in drinking water in some regions of Baghdad city in Iraq has been studied using CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detector technique. A total of 18 samples selected from 6 region (5 samples from each region) in Baghdad city have been placed in the dosimeters for 50 day. The average radon concentration was found to be 516.1 hbox { Bq/m}^{3} which is greater than the standard international limit (300 hbox { Bq/m}^{3}). The potential alpha energy concentration and annual effective dose have been calculated. A proportional relationship between the annual effective dose and radon concentration within the studied region has been certified.
