Measurement of radon gas concentration in fertilizer samples by using nuclear track detector (CR-39)‎

الملخص EN

In the present work, we have measured the radon gas concentration in ten fertilizers samples for three kinds {mixed fertilizer (M.F), triple super phosphate (T.S.P), single super phosphate (S.S.P)} by using alpha-emitters registrations which are emitted form radon gas in (CR-39) nuclear track detector.

The results obtained have shown that the highest average radon gas concentration in fertilizer samples was found in triple super phosphate sample (T.S.P), which was (177.5 Bq / m3) (Iran origin), while the lowest average radon gas concentration was found in single super phosphate (S.S.P) sample, which was (72.2 Bq / m3) (Iraq origin) .The present results show that the radon gas concentration in all fertilizers samples is below the allowed limit from (International Commission of Radiation Protection) (ICRP) agency.
