In the past decade, escalating concern surrounding radon exposure has emerged as a significant challenge in radiation protection. This study specifically targets assessment of concentrations and annual effective doses groundwater within Chra, KRG, Iraq. The employs RAD7 to measure eleven primary water wells, aiming evaluate potential radioactive risks associated with usage. Results indicate that well exhibits elevated levels compared other sources, attributable geological factors. analyzed samples reveal 222Rn ranging from 1.75 11.99 Bq/L, an average 5.44 Bq/L.

Furthermore, study aimed evaluate willingness participate (WTPA) initiatives. The used descriptive statistics well Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) analyze collected data. We found that most are hopeful (89%). positive highly significant outlook is closely related (0.000). Moreover, high percentage (92%) acknowledged practices, cultivation livestock rearing, could degrade land significantly. Whereas Gender, Age Employment were be positively regarding youth’s WTPA (0.000), income was not.
