In this particular investigation, 30 surface soil samples taken from various locations across the Middle Omara governorate in southeastern Iraq were analyzed using ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), and several of these, as far as the researchers know, had never been analyzed previously. The results are presented and compared with those from a different study. The studied soil samples had <100 ppm of uranium, which shows they are composed of overloads and garbage rather than mineable stocks. This article describes and assesses the uranium content in the Middle Omara Governorates. Additionally, all 30 exposed earth samples had uranium below the detection threshold. The results show that the samples of surface soils under investigation have uranium concentrations below the permissible maximum (11.7 ppm) established by UNSCEAR in 1993.
在这项具体调查中，研究人员使用电感耦合等离子体质谱法（ICP-MS）对从伊拉克东南部奥马拉省中部不同地点采集的30份表层土壤样本进行了分析，据研究人员所知，其中几份样本此前从未被分析过。研究结果已公布，并与另一项不同研究的结果进行了比较。所研究的土壤样本铀含量低于100 ppm，这表明它们是由废料和垃圾组成，而非可开采储量。本文描述并评估了奥马拉省中部的铀含量。此外，所有30份裸露土壤样本的铀含量均低于检测阈值。结果表明，所调查的表层土壤样本的铀浓度低于联合国原子辐射效应科学委员会（UNSCEAR）1993年规定的允许最大值（11.7 ppm）。
