The US Environmental Protection Agency recommended the uranium content safe limit for drinking water by 30 μgL−1, therefore Surface well water samples from farms near Mosul city were tested for uranium and radon concentrations. The Rad7 and the CR-39 detector track registration techniques were used in measurements. The Rad7 technique discovered indicating the samples’ radon levels ranged from 0.072 to 0.713 BqL−1, while the CR-39 detector discovered radon concentrations ranging from 0.088 to 0.567 BqL−1, uranium concentration varied from 7.162 to 45.958 μgL−1. The values obtained are below the recommended safe limits of 4 to 40 BqL−1 by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation. The results showed that radioactive material concentrations are moderate in flat agricultural areas, low in areas near the Tigris River, and increasing in areas where mounds contain rocks. The study area is free of the effects and dangers of radioactive materials.
