| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study is to measure the radon (222Rn) concentration in water of rivers and groundwater in Dhi-Qar governorate (Iraq). The measurements were performed by analyzing the water samples collected from 58 location, using Emanometer techniques. The obtained radon concentrations ranged from 116 Bq/m3 to 601 Bq/m3 in river water and from 355 Bq/m3 to 681 Bq/m3 in the wells water. The results are presented and compared with other studies. The results could be utilised to make distinctive supplementary contributions when contamination event occurs and to implement water quality standards by concerned authorities to maintain radioactive contamination-free drinking water supplies for the people. | ||
