Hazardous nonpathogenic contaminants, which are commonly found everywhere throughout the world in the waterways from which drinking water is derived, may pose serious health issues, hence it is important to assess the amount of Boron,(), in water samples in the Al-Zubair area of Iraq. The water samples were collected from 13 different locations, and the measurements were conducted using the Carmine approach to look at them. Boron levels in the water samples analyzed ranged from Hayy Al-Asra 4.21 mg/L to Al-Moallemen District 0.88 mg/L. The results are presented and contrasted with those from other studies. The research might be used to help in the case of contamination and to aid in the establishment of water quality standards by the relevant authorities to protect the public's drinking water sources from radioactive contamination. The study also demonstrates that 13 surface water samples' boron concentrations are below the limit of detection. The drinking water sources in this area include naturally occurring boron. There might soon be major boron pollution concerns as a result.
