Abstract

In this work, Uranium concentrations in groundwater and soil samples from some areas of Al-Najaf city, Iraq were measured solid state nuclear track detector (CR-39) detector technique. The uranium concentration in groundwater samples was found to vary from (1.617782869±0.04342) μgl −1 to (5.079235843±0.137827) μgl −1 , while in soil samples vary from (0.093558±0.000938) ppm to (0.184325±0.017511) ppm. This study showed that levels of uranium concentration in groundwater and soil of study area of were compared with safe limit values recommended by WHO and UNSCEAR below the safe limit .
