In this research the activity of radon gas in air in Baghad governorate,Iraq, using "alpha-emitters track registration (CR-39) track detector were measured. This measurement was done for selected areas from Baghdad Governorate ,The results obtained shows that the highest average concentrations for Rn-222 is (179.077 Bq/𝑚 3) which was recorded within Al-Shaaib city and less average concentrations was (15.79 Bq/𝑚 3) in the nearby residential area of Baghdad International Airport and the overall

Then the radon concentration was measured annual effective dose calculated from radon concentration and found in range from 0.4031 mSv/y to 4.5179 mSv /y with an average value of 2.1824 mSv/y. The annual effective dose of radon was within the allowed international limits.
