| Abstract | ||
| In this study the assessment of indoor radon concentration in the air of Qaysare in Erbil city have been studied by using CR-39 Solid–State Nuclear Track Detector Technique. A total of 18 selected zones inside the suq have been selected to place the dosimeters. The average radon concentration was found to be 21.54 ± 8.017 Bq/m3 ,which is fortunately lower than the standard international limit from 200-600 Bq/m3 as recommended by ICRP, IAEA. The potential alpha energy concentration and annual effective dose have been calculated. A proportional relationship between the annual effective dose and radon concentration within the studied region has been certified. | ||
