This study was carried out to estimate the concentrations of radon, radium and heavy metals in 30 samples potato corn chips consumed Kurdistan region Iraq ensure food safety. Measurements were conducted using CR-39 detector monitor radon levels X-ray fluorescence analyse copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) respectively. The findings demonstrate that mean 41.41 Bq m−3 115.81 mBq kg−1, which found be lower than global average values. Thus, products analysed this are not radiologically hazardous. Annual effective dose for adults children groups also calculated, with values 2.42 2.72 nSv y−1, far below recommended limit as set by ICRP. Mean 3.66, 9.34, 3.61, 18.22 mg kg−1 Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Overall, ingestion some may pose a serious health risk due metal toxicity, particularly Mn Fe contamination. Moreover, correlations between radium, determined Pearson correlation coefficient.
