Measurement and Study of Radioactive Radon Gas Concentrations in the Selected Samples of River Hilla / Iraq

Abstract

In this study measuring concentrations of radon in water for Hilla province of Babylon (100 Km) south of capital Baghdad. Was chosen as the water River Hilla study by 88 sample from 22 regions by using the electronic radon detector RAD7, and the average concentration of radon in the Hilla River (0.103 ± 0.057) Bq.L-1 , where the highest value (0.181 ± 0.07) Bq.L-1 and the lowest value (0.036 ± 0.05) Bq.L-1 and effective dose for the current study of the importance Has been chosen this subject of .1-human exposure to radon was (0.45) mSv.yof water in human life and living, and the lack of previous studies in the study area.Keywords: radon concentrations, River Hilla , Annual effective dose, RAD7.
