Abstract
This research aims to evaluate the concentration of radon gas and the risks involved as a result of exposure to it. The nuclear track detector CR-39 was used to measure radon gas in the buildings of Al-Qadisiyah University’s College of Education. For a month, 11 buildings in the college of Education at Al-Qadisiyah University were chosen to measure the radon concentration, with CR-39 reagent placed inside the sponge by two detectors for each building. The highest value of radon concentration was recorded in the CH1 model (270.5±32.9 Bq.m-3), at the building of the Department of Chemistry, and the lowest value was recorded in the Li1 model (96.9±27.7 Bq.m-3), which is the college library building with a concentration rate equal to (168). It is below the acceptable and recommended limit by the International Committee for Radiation Protection (200-300 Bq.m-3).
