Background : Exposure to radiological agents such as natural radon gas and consumption of heavy metals in edible plants are two potential causes of unusual cancer in Berje village near Amedi town in Duhok city in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. Material and Methods: Samples of soil, fruits, and vegetables were collected at various stages in the village, particularly at locations close to the homes of cancer patients. The collected samples underwent digestion and heavy metal absorption tests to detect ratio of heavy metal content as well as in their contents of radon. Results: showed that both heavy metals and radon gas in all samples were with different ratios. Moreover, results revealed that the evolution of radon ranged between 51.375 and 170.25 Bq.m - 3 , which is within the normal range of radon emission for soil sample. Similarly, results demonstrated that the average content of radon ranged between 0 and 24.1 Bq/kg in most fruits and vegetables which are within the allowable range. However, cadmium was found to be in marginal limits as target hazard quotient (THQ) for lead was greater than 1. Furthermore, bioaccumulation factors of tested fruits and vegetables were less than 1. Conclusion: The translocation of radon from soil to plants is only hazardous for tomatoes and common purslane. Furthermore, health risk index (HRI) of lead and cadmium was between 1 and 5, which indicates a threat to human health. The hazardous index (HI) was also larger than 1, which implies that heavy metals had significant non -carcinogenic effects on human health. The study found that the target cancer risk (TCR) of lead was low as results demonstrated that heavy metal content was within allowable range.

Microclimates are important for understanding the impact of urban areas on the environment. Although often overlooked, educational campuses cover large metropolitan areas that contribute to environmental harm in cities. This research focuses on studying the microclimate characteristics of Nawroz University’s campus in Duhok City, Iraq. The study uses ENVI-met software to assess current conditions and a proposed Green-Belt (GB) scenario. The analysis focuses on mean radiant temperature (MRT) and air temperature at four specific times (4 a.m., 8 a.m., 2 p.m., and 10 p.m.). A comparison is made between a Baseline scenario and a Green-Belt scenario. The Baseline scenario shows high temperatures on sun-exposed surfaces. The Green-Belt scenario demonstrates temperature reductions at 2 p.m. up to 8°C, highlighting the importance of vegetation in mitigating heat. Temperature reductions of 3°C to 5°C were also observed at 8 a.m., underscoring the cooling benefits of the proposed vegetation. The results from the Baseline scenario indicate that surfaces exposed to the sun with low albedo have higher temperatures. Vegetation in urban planning improves campus thermal comfort, reducing urban heat island effects. The study highlighted green infrastructure potential in creating sustainable urban environments, notably in regions transitioning to sheltered areas adjacent to trees.

Predicting groundwater drawdown is crucial to the Duhok Governorate’s sustainable management of its water resources. To ensure long-term water availability as extraction from population growth and development intensifies, predicting drawdown helps to prevent overuse, provide a continuous supply of water, and enable effective planning for urbanization, agriculture, and industrial needs. In this work, a novel approach based on Multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP), support vector regression (SVR), k-nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN), and extreme learning Machine (ELM) optimized by whale optimization algorithm (WOA) were proposed for estimating the total drawdown at Zakho region, Duhok Governorate, Northern Iraq for the first time. The input variables of the models include the rate of water extraction from the well (Q), well depth (D), and various meteorological parameters such as rainfall (R), evapotranspiration (E), Maximum Temperature (Tmax), and Minimum Temperature (Tmin). It is found that ELM showed the highest performance in modeling groundwater drawdown (R2=0.911, RMSE=5.674 m, and MAE=4.937 m). Moreover, the novelty of the research work is to enhance the accuracy of the individual models using two ensemble techniques including simple averaging ensemble (SAE) and weighted average ensemble (WAE). Based on the findings, the WAE technique increased the performance of individual models by up to 20%, proving the reliability of the WAE technique for groundwater drawdown prediction.

This study evaluates the radon-222 (²²²Rn) exhalation rates from building tiles commonly used in Duhok, Iraq. Eighteen samples of tiles used for flooring and walls were collected and analyzed using the Airthings radon detector to measure the 222Rn levels. Surface exhalation (EA) and mass exhalation (EM) rates were calculated based on the measured radon concentrations. The results showed that ²²²Rn levels in the tile samples ranged from 2.96 to 46.99 Bq/m³, which is below the limit of 100 Bq/m³ recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for indoor air environments. Indian Pink Granite exhibited the highest radon emission rates among the tested materials, with an EA of 97.9 mBq/m²h and an EM of 9.79 mBq/kgh. These findings highlight the importance of considering both average radon concentrations and emission rates when selecting building materials. Although the immediate radon levels of these tiles are within safe limits, materials such as Indian Pink Granite, which have high emission rates, could potentially increase indoor radon levels over time. This underscores the need for comprehensive evaluations to ensure long-term safety. Identifying materials with high emission rates enables informed decision-making, supporting the sustainable selection of building materials. This approach helps mitigate indoor radon accumulation, improves air quality, and protects public health.

Abstract— In this study, 13 different surface locations and 20 mud samples were collected during drilling, from one of the oil wells in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The samples were taken at different well depths. RAD7 technique was used for finding the radon concentration. The smallest values in soil and surface were 14.12±8.59 and 16±4.24Bq/m3 and the highest were 93.25+21.72 and 137±8.76Bq/m3 respectively. The difference in the depth and surface formation shows the surface formation over depth ratio. The exhalation rate recorded value of the surface was generally higher than that of the depth formations. The exhalation results were finally compared with the recommended values of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) levels. The data show that it was less than the standards of IAEA.
