Abstract
In this particular investigation, 30 surface soil samples taken from various locations across the Middle Omara governorate in southeastern Iraq were analyzed using ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), and several of these, as far as the researchers know, had never been analyzed previously. The results are presented and compared with those from a different study. The studied soil samples had <100 ppm of uranium, which shows they are composed of overloads and garbage rather than mineable stocks. This article describes and assesses the uranium content in the Middle Omara Governorates. Additionally, all 30 exposed earth samples had uranium below the detection threshold. The results show that the samples of surface soils under investigation have uranium concentrations below the permissible maximum (11.7 ppm) established by UNSCEAR in 1993.
