Abstract: This study measured boron concentrations in forty soil samples collected from Al-Khlaa and Al-Masharah areas in Maysan Province of Iraq. The samples were analyzed and measured of boron concentrations with using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry method (ICP-OES). The results showed that boron concentrations ranged from the 0.71-5.12 ppm with a mean of 2.76plusmn;1.47 ppm for Al-Khlaa area and from 0.32-4.74 ppm with a mean of 1.53±1.31 ppm for Al-Masharah area. The results indicated that the boron concentrations in these measured soil samples were below the standard value suggested by ATSDR recommended values of 30 ppm for the Earth soil.
