Eleven samples of salt were collected from local markets in Iraq for the purpose of identifying which types were more radioactive and the radiation efficacy of the external hazard index, outdoor absorbent dose, internal hazard index and indoor absorbed dose and Radium equivalent activity (Raeq) also finding an effective dose due to ingestion where the maximum value of a specific uranium activity was recorded in sample S4, which was (32.138Bq/kg). The lowest value was recorded in sample S8, which was (4.432 Bq/kg). It should be noted that sample S8 is Turkish origin specific activity of 232Th, the highest value was (12.456Bq/kg) recorded in sample S9, while the lowest value was (1.426 Bq/kg) and recorded in sample S7. Also calculate Effective dose Dose(Sv/y) by using equation (7) for 40K was 10.088 Sv/y, 226Ra was 1.152 Sv/y and 232Th was 1.660 Sv/y.
