Sixteen samples were collected from the local markets of Baghdad - Iraq. It was found that the levels of thorium concentrations are higher than the levels of uranium concentrations in all canned meat and fish samples. It was also found that the average annual effective dose of uranium and thorium in canned meat samples is higher than the average annual effective dose in canned fish samples. When comparing the practical results with the internationally permissible results, it was found that the levels of uranium and thorium concentrations of the studied samples are within the permissible limits.
