Abstract

In this study, (CR-39) was used to detect the effects of charge particles of protons, alpha particles and fission fragments. Rn222 is an environmental contaminant that causes serious health problems because it is considered One of the main outputs of uranium fission. The samples were collected at a depth of (5.15.25.35.45) cm and the highest value was recorded in the industrial area of (1666.911 ± 27.21531) Bq/m3 and the lowest value in Al-Hurriya district where (988.99 21.9631) Bq/m3 was recorded. The general average was (1375.7876 Bq/m3) These values are higher than the natural exposure limit set by the World Health Organization of (800 Bq/m3) (WHO), which leads to contamination of all areas of the study.
