In this study, the concentration of radioactive elements was measured for 10 samples of surface soil based on the administrative map in the Asbea region using a gamma ray system based on a high-purity germanium detector. The results showed that the radioactivity of the uranium-238 series ranged from 0.47 Bq/kg to 29.14 Bq/kg. As for the thorium-232 series, it ranged from 0.02 Bq /kg to 8.69 Bq/kg, and for potassium nitrate-40, it ranged from 5.32 Bq/kg to 11.22 Bq/kg, and from these measurements it was found that they all fall within the internationally permissible limits ", as well as then measuring the quantities associated with the assessment of radiological risks, which is the activity of radium equivalent (〖Ra〗_eq), average absorbed dose (D), and annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) And internal and external risk indicators (H_in،H_ex) and it was found that they all fall within the internationally permissible limits.
