Measurement of Uranium Concentration and Radon Exhalation Rate using Can Technique Method in Some Soils Samples from Rammadi City, Iraq

Uranium, radium, and radon are radioactive effective nuclei that are present in the soil at various levels and to avoid the health hazard they must not exceed the permissible limit.. In present work the interesting with sixteen different soil samples collected from over various regions in Ramadi city, Iraq tested for uranium concentration using locked container technique which includes CR-39 passive detectors as nuclear solid-state track detector (SSNTD). It was found the content of uranium in soil samples have been found (0.71 ppm) to (5.73ppm). The Measurment included radon concentrations were varied from 1.34 Bqkg(-1) to 24.1 Bqkg(-1) with an average value of 12.6 Bqkg(-1), while radon exhalation rate also varied from (10.7x 10(-3)Bqkg(-1) h(-1)) to (86.4x 10(-3) Bqkg(-1) h(-1)). The results were compared with national and worldwide results.
