Abstract

Abstract In the present work, Radon Excess Lung Cancer (ELC) is estimated for fourteen soil samples from Babylon cement plant in Iraq. CR-39 nuclear track detector is utilized to measure the uranium content and radon 222Rn concentrations in soil samples. Uranium concentrations in soil samples varied from 0.008 to 0.05 ppm with mean value 0.025±0.013. Radon concentrations is founded between 31 and 92 Bq/m3 with mean value 56.72 and standard division, SD, 17.29. Radon Excess Lung Cancer per Million Persons per Year is determined with mean value 863 and standard division, SD, 261.65 (463.81-12082.8). Also, Annual effective dose, E (msv y-1), has a range from 0.77 to 2.32 with mean 1.44 and SD 0.44.
