Abstract
The study aimed to assess the concentrations of radon gas in residential areas of the Al-Qadisiyah district in Baghdad, Iraq.Radon levels were determined in the bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens of multiple homes located in the community. On average, the concentration of radon detected in the bedrooms measured 38.795 ±3.873Bq/m3, while the amounts identified within the living rooms and kitchens varied between 45.77 ±3.214 and 54.695 ±16.637 Bq/m3. The conclusions uncovered that the majority of radon concentrations were under the limits established by the World Health Organization, indicating the radon exposures in these dwellings posed minimal threat.
