Evaluation of environmental radioactive contamination of radon gas in Karrada homes in Baghdad Governorate, Iraq
The analysis addressed the study of radon contamination collection in dwellings located at Karada, Baghdad. The outcomes revealed that the concentration of radon varied from 17.324 to 45.00 Bq/m3 with an average value of 26.8432 ± 2.216 Bq/m3. AED results were observed to vary from 0.001 mSv/year to...

| description | The analysis addressed the study of radon contamination collection in dwellings located at Karada, Baghdad. The outcomes revealed that the concentration of radon varied from 17.324 to 45.00 Bq/m3 with an average value of 26.8432 ± 2.216 Bq/m3. AED results were observed to vary from 0.001 mSv/year to 0.847 mSv/year having an average value of 0.2352 ± 0.0647 mSv/year, where potential alpha energy concentrations ranged from 0.26 mWL to 0.93 mWL with a mean value of 0.4179 ±0.057 mWL and radon daughter exposure ranged from 0.13 mWLM/Y to 0.44 mWLM/Y having a mean value of 0.4943 ± 0.111 mWLM/Y.Based on our findings we can conclude that, as anticipated, most indoor values are well below the US EPA limit of 148 Bq/m3 |
