Abstract: Radon concentrations in fruits samples collected randomly from local markets in An Najaf, Iraq has been measured using two passive technique (LR-115 type II nuclear track detectors). The radon concentrations measured by both tracks are found to vary from (18.51±8.28 Bq/m3) to (62.96±15.27 Bq/m3 ) with a mean value of (37.44±5.09 Bq/m3 ) and from (37.03±11.71 Bq/m3) to (100±19.24 Bq/m3) with a mean value of (55.55±6.83 Bq/m3) respectively. All values of radon concentrations for samples under study were found to be quite lower than the permissible value of (400 Bq/m3) recommended by (ICRP). From radiation protection purpose of read, it had been found that the fruits samples under study don’t cause any vital risk for the presence of 222Rn concentration ,and it’s thought of radiologically safe for human consumption.
