Abstract

The current study uses ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) and SSNTDs (solid-state nuclear track detectors) to measure uranium concentrations in 25 surface soil samples from selected locations in Omara governorate in Southern Iraq. In the ICP-MS technique, uranium concentrations ranged from 0.66 ppm to 1.6 ppm. In the SSNTDs technique, uranium concentrations ranged from 0.81±0.31 ppm to 1.95±0.50 ppm. The results obtained from the soil samples were within the permissible limits recommended by the UNSCEAR Committee of 11.7 ppm.
