Radon – Radon Zones & National Map

Radon Gas MapThe purpose of the Radon map is to assist National, State, and local organizations to target their resources and to implement radon-resistant building codes. This map is not intended to be used to determine if a home in a given zone should be tested for radon. Homes with elevated levels of radon have been found in all three zones. All homes should be tested regardless of geographic location.

The Map was developed using five factors to determine radon potential:

1) indoor radon measurements;
2) geology;
3) aerial radioactivity;
4) soil permeability;
and  5) foundation type.

Radon potential assessment is based on geologic provinces. Radon Index Matrix is the quantitative assessment of radon potential. Confidence Index Matrix shows the quantity and quality of the data used to assess radon potential. Geologic Provinces were adapted to county boundaries for the Map of Radon Zones.
