This study aims to assess the concentrations of (Rn222, vocs, CO2) in models of dust storms in Iraq using the AIRTHINGS method, where the results of (Rn222, vocs, CO2) were respectively. radon gas ranged where they ranged from 5.0±1.63 Bq/m3 to 18.0±3.74 Bq/m3 at The average 10.8±5.10 Bq/m3 on average. the levels of volatile organic chemicals in the models that were looked at ranged from 134 ppb to 672 ppb, with a mean of 374.9 ±327.815 ppb. During dust storms, the levels of carbon dioxide ranged from 415 (ppm) to 1200 (ppm), with a mean of 764.9 ± 369.2 (ppm). This means that most of the results for carbon dioxide, radon gas, and volatile organic chemicals were within what This study says is safe. Except for some samples, it was above the permissible limit.
