Abstract

This research covers about 15 sites in sports stadiums located in Iraqi cities to measure the concentration of radon, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds, as well as humidity. the results for (Radon, Co2, Voc, and Humidity) in the soil of sports stadiums in Iraqi cities. The data reveals that Radon concentrations ranged from 4.000 Bq/m3 to 13.000 Bq/m3, with an average of 7.86 ±0.77Bq/m3. Similarly, the concentrations of Co2 (ppm) varied from 388.0 ppm to 800.0 ppm, with an average of 610±35.196 ppm. Additionally, the concentrations of Voc (ppb) ranged from 77.00 ppb to 300.0 ppb , with an average of 200.±28.867ppb. The values for Humidity % ranged from 19.17 % to 55.%, with an average of 33. ±3.198 %.. Finally, based on these results, some soil samples taken from sports fields can be considered to be within the acceptable limit.
