The analysis addressed the study of radon contamination collection in dwellings located at Karada, Baghdad. The outcomes revealed that the concentration of radon varied from 17.324 to 45.00 Bq/m3 with an average value of 26.8432 ± 2.216 Bq/m3. AED results were observed to vary from 0.001 mSv/year to 0.847 mSv/year having an average value of 0.2352 ± 0.0647 mSv/year, where potential alpha energy concentrations ranged from 0.26 mWL to 0.93 mWL with a mean value of 0.4179 ±0.057 mWL and radon daughter exposure ranged from 0.13 mWLM/Y to 0.44 mWLM/Y having a mean value of 0.4943 ± 0.111 mWLM/Y.Based on our findings we can conclude that, as anticipated, most indoor values are well below the US EPA limit of 148 Bq/m3
