摘要：Background: Radon concentrations in fruits samples collected randomly from local markets in An Najaf, Iraq has been measured. Materials and Methods: Two passive detector (LR-115 type II nuclear track detectors) were used to measure the radon concentration in 9 fruit samples, in Iraq. Results: The radon concentrations measured by both tracks are found to vary from (18.51±8.28 Bq m³) to (62.96±15.27 Bq m³) with a mean value of (37.44±5.09 Bq m³) and from (37.03±11.71 Bq m³) to (100±19.24 Bq m³) with a mean value of (55.55±6.83 Bq m³), respectively. All values of radon concentrations for samples under study were found to be quite lower than the permissible value of (400 Bq m³) recommended by (ICRP). Conclusion: From radiation protection purpose of read, it had been found that the fruits samples under study dont cause any vital risk for the presence of ²²²Rn concentration and its thought of radiologically safe for human consumption.
