Abstract
In this research radon concentrations in soil samples of some sites of the College of Education for Women, University of Tikrit, were measured using CR-39 nuclear impact detector. Soil samples were prepared according to classical protocols whereby they were irradiated for a period of 65 days in propagation chambers chemically treated and subjected to optical microscopy to calculate nuclear effects. The results show differences in the concentrations of radon gas in the samples collected from different sites ranging between a lowest value in the location of the department of English and a highest value of in the location of the cafeteria of College compared to the radiation background of due to the geological factors that depend on the type and specifications of the soil, the amount of gases emitted from the soil, the amount of the emergence of radon from the granules of the soil and its spread through the pores of the soil to the outside.
Highlights
Radiation activity is a phenomenon that occurs naturally in a number of active radioactive materials that emit certain types of radiation automatically within a specified period [1]
For example the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs in 1945, where this incidence was the beginning of environmental pollution followed by many other incidences that led to a significant impacts in the contamination of large areas of the planet, In addition, other sources of pollution included the processes resulting from the use of radioactive sources in fields which was caused by man.This is the reason behind the a need to study the effects of radiation how to detect it how to identify the extent of pollution in the environment, and how to treat that pollution and how it is processed [2]
In my study SSNTD'S are used to calculate the specific activity of radon in soil samples of the sites of the Faculty of Education for Women University of Tikrit [3]
