| Abstract | ||
| In this study, concentrations of radon were measured for fifty four samples of soil from AL-Ansar historical district in the southern of al-najf The radon concentrations in soil samples measured by using alpha-emitters registration that emits from radon (222Rn) in (CR-39) track detector. The concentrations values were calculated by a comparison with standard samples. The results shows that the radon concentrations in first section varies from(56.2-758 Bq/m3), second section (66.7-660Bq/m3), third section (758.6-106.6Bq/m3) we notice from the results radon concentration is above the normal value which around (200- 800Bq/m3) we noticed a bear different diseases such us a blood cancer and breast cancer in the women and we must treaded this soil. | ||
