Abstract
Radon activity concentration levels were measured in the sediments of Basrah Governorate marshes, Iraq. There included Al-Qurna marsh and Al-Mediena marsh. The selected areas were chosen according to civilian population. CR-39 and LR-115 type 2 detectors in a cylindrical plastic container technique used in this investigation. Maximum activity of radon levels (18329 Bq m-3) observed in Al-Hyader sediments and minimum levels (1769 Bq m-3) were observed in Umelha both samples from Al-Mediena marshes. While in all sediments of Al-Qurna marsh, the activity of radon were found between (10740-1985) Bq m-3 which are in natural limits according to (ICRP). The anomalous values of activity of sediments in some stations were discussed .
