Water is the most important substance for life. Mineral waters are widely used as drinking water, and so that, it is important to determine the radon levels, and its risk in drinking water for public health and radiation protection. Radon concentration has been measured in the bottled natural mineral water samples commercially available in the Egyptian local market, using closed can technique. Radon concentration in water samples ranged from 0.93 - 6.89 Bql-1 and total annual effective dose ranged from 3.49 - 25.93 µSvy-1. The results indicate that radon concentrations in water samples lower than the recommended limit 11.1BqL-1 by EPA, and the annual effective dose of the samples are lower than the permissible international limit by EPA and WHO. The obtained results indicate that there is no significant public radiological risk related to radon ingested with drinking water in the present study.

Radon concentration, exhalation rate, annual effective dose, radium activity, thorium, uranium potassium and radium equivalent have been measured in the present investigation for soil in the area around the old fertilizer factory in southern of Basrah Governorate. The measurements based on CR39 track detector for passive method, RAD7 for active method and NaI(Tl) for gamma concentration measurements. Average values for radon concentration in soil were 112.04±10.76 Bq/m3 using passive technique and 104.56±6.05 Bq/m3 using RAD7. From the result of the passive technique, area and mass exhalation rates and the annual effective dose were calculated. Gamma ray spectroscopy for the soil samples were performed and found that the average concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were 50.89 Bq/kg, 21.74 Bq/kg and 640.4 Bq/kg respectively. Gamma ray hazard indices were calculated and found they are within the world average.
