The current study was performed to estimate Radon concentration in the tap water and annual effective dose in 22 water samples from three districts in Haditha city (Haditha center, Haqlaniyah and Barowana) in addition to Euphrates river. the results show that overall concentration of radon 226 in drinking water in Haditha city was ranged (0.0091 – 0.031 Bq L−1). Also, the annual effective dose of radon 226 was calculated, The highest was 0.113166 μSv/y, while the lowest was 0.03322 μSv/y. The rank order of drinking water resources in Haditha region based on the concentration of radon 226 was Euphrates river > Haditha > Barwana > Haglanyah. The overall concentration of radon 226 in drinking water in Haditha city was lower than WHO and EPA standard limits.

The present paper discusses the systematic study on gamma dose rate, radon exhalation, radium content in soil and sediment and radon concentration in water of Hemavathi River environments. The Gamma dose rate in the air in the study area varied from 98 to 202 nGy h−1 with mean value 145 nGy h−1. The measured dose rate was above the world and Indian average. The mean value of radium activity in soil and sediment was found to be 366.61 and 328.36 mBq kg−1, respectively. The mean value of radon in soil and sediment was found to be 373.90 and 334.90 Bq m−3, respectively. The radon concentration of water ranges from 0.20 to 1.60 kBq m−3 with an average value of 0.67 kBq m−3. The radon in water contributes to dosage in stomach and lungs. The effective doses of radon were calculated and compared with international recommended values. The results show that sediment and water are safe to use for construction and drinking purpose.

“…These radioactive nuclides exist in air, water, soil, rocks and building construction materials, depending on the geological and geographical features of the region. Cosmic radiation originates from outer space and contributes to background radiation depending on variations with elevation and latitude [1].…”
