| Abstract | ||
| In the present work, we have measured the radon gas concentration in water samples were taken directly from drinking water (tap water) in sites houses was carried some region in northwest Baghdad governorate by using alpha-emitters registrations which are emitted from radon gas in (CR-39) nuclear track detector. The results of measurements indicate that the highest average radon concentration in water samples was found in Al-Washash region which was (0.36±0.01 Bq/L), while the lowest average radon gas concentration was found in (Al-Taji) region and (Al-Jihad) region which was equal to (0.15±0.01 Bq/L), with an average value of (0.129±0.02 Bq/L), the present results show that the radon gas concentrations in drinking water in the northwest Baghdad governorate is below the allowed limit from Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 2000). | ||
