“…The alteration in the abundance of naturally occurring uranium in water activity encompasses the utilization of phosphates as fertilizers, the efficiency of diverse uranium mining and manufacturing techniques in nuclear fuel facilities, and the applications of depleted uranium in various products [4]. The environment, encompassing living organisms, materials, air, soil, water, and human-made structures, serves as a crucial medium for human activities aimed at achieving economic growth and prosperity [5]. As long as man remains active and movable in this natural environment, his actions pose risks that negatively impact the environment and pollute it with various pollutants.…”

In this work, a total of 20 water samples were collected from various locations inside the city of Baghdad. Each sample consists of a volume of 1 litre of water which had been obtained from multiple geographical locations. There were twelve water samples representing pure tap water sourced from various locations additionally, eight samples of mineral water were obtained from several marketplaces in Baghdad. A total of six radionuclides were detected in the water samples using the HPGe detector. These radionuclides were identified as Bi 214, Ra 226, TI 208, Bi 212, Pb 212, and K 40. Among these, Bi 214 and Ra 226 are part of the U-238 series, while TI 208, Bi 212, and Pb 212 belong to the Th 232 series. Additionally, K 40 is a naturally occurring radionuclide. The observed minimum value for the average specific activity of radionuclides in pure tap water samples was Al-Yarmouk Pure tap water. However, the sample Hay Al-qahira pure tap water exhibited the highest recorded specific activity values of radionuclides in pure tap water. The observed minimum value for the average specific activity of radionuclides in mineral water samples was Bardaa mineral water. However, the sample (W15) exhibited the highest recorded values for the specific activity of radionuclides in mineral water. The measured external dosage of natural radioactivity in water samples from Baghdad was found to be relatively low, at 0.366 mSv.y-1. This value falls below the recommended limit the United Nations Scientific Committee set on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), 1 mSv.y-1.

“…This type is called the main terrestrial sources [3]. As for what is currently found in our earth from natural radioactive materials, they are derived in different ways from the main sources or came from radiation cosmic Radiation detectors of all kinds have developed remarkably during the last ten years, through the great scientific development in the field of electronics, where many major countries have developed radiological detection devices for the scientific benefit that it obtains to detect pollution in the soil [4,5]. Various types of nuclear detectors have various purposes, and each detector has its advantages and problems.…”

In this current review, 18 examples of surface soils are taken from various regions from Diyala Province. Diyala Province is stay in eastern Iraq, 57 km away from the capital Baghdad, northward. All soil samples are assembling from an external perspective of the soil by utilizing sifter by then set 1 kg was taken from each sample. The ORTIC MCB radiation detector was used, where one kilogram of soil was placed that was filtered and cleaned well and for two hours for each examination sample and six natural radionuclides were obtained inside each soil sample examined. Through the detection and laboratory results that we conducted, we found that presence of the cesium-137 contamination element was not observed in the samples taken. The ordinary unequivocal activities of the radionuclides in Diyala samples are within the permitted ran, which means that the soil in those areas does not contain high amounts of radioactivity and can be cultivated naturally without fear of side effects as a result of the radiation falling from the universe.
