2020
Osamah Nawfal Oudah and Anees A. Al-Hamzawi
The effective technique of RAD7 has been applied to determine the concentrations of radon and annual effective dose of mineral water samples collected from Iraqi local markets. The results show that the level of radon concentrations in mineral water samples ranged between 0.035 and 0.248 Bq/L with an average value of 0.120 Bq/L. In addition to the annual effective dose ranged from 0.129 to 0.905 ?Sv/y with an average value of 0.440 ?Sv/y. It was found that the mean value of radon concentration and annual effective dose in all the studied mineral water samples were within the acceptable limits according to the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and World Health Organization (WHO).
