This study focused on knowing the levels of pollution caused by heavy metals (iron, lead) and gamma rays in the governorates of Maysan and Basra. The highest value of gamma rays was in Maysan governorate, there is a rise in these rates, according to the comparison conducted with international research, but these values do not represent a significant danger. The samples in this study are normal and free of pollution. It was found that the highest value of gamma rays in Maysan is 0.7 μSv/h at S5 and S9. The lowest value was 0.11 μSv/h in S3. As for the heavy elements, the highest value of iron was found at 0.2811 mg/l in Karama village (S2), and the lowest value was 0.2203 mg/l in S3 and the highest value for lead was 0.2632 mg/l in Kameet and the lowest value was 0.0033 In the village of Al-Huda, the highest value of gamma rays was observed at 0.8 uSv/h in S6 and S7, and the lowest value was 0.11 μSv/h in S2. The highest value for iron Fe was 0.3452 mg/l at the site S4 Al-Burjisiya Road 17, and the lowest value was 0.2232/ml for S9 Safwan Street, while pb had the highest value of 0.2817 mg/L in S7 of Zubair farms, and the lowest value was 0.0319 mm/L in S9 of Safwan Street.
