The study involved the collection of soil samples from several schools across the Baghdad governorate. The precise activity levels of 238U and 232Th, and 40K were between 3.2 ± 1.3 and 20.6 ± 0.2 Bq/kg, with an average of 22.1 ± 1.118.22 Bq/kg, or 122.0-4.8 Bq/kg. The outcomes of Raeq, Hex, Hin, I?, and Ia are listed in Table 2. From this Table, Raeq values range from 24.4 to 84.4 Bq/kg, with an average value of 45.35 ±3.603 Bq/kg. Additionally, the Hex, Hin, I? and Ia values range from 0.042 to 0.228, with an average value of 0.1156-0.08, from 0.049 to 0.284, with an average value of 0.1385-0.09, from 0.194 to 0.636, with an average value of 0.3289-0.02, and from 0.031 to 0.103, with an average value of 0.041-0. 015, respectively. Some schools in the Baghdad region have soil that is over the international limit for soil radioactivity, as a result, it is safe for humans to be near them.
