radon in central oregon

There is a misconception that radon is not a problem in Central Oregon. This is likely because there has been relatively little testing in Central Oregon, coupled with a misunderstanding of the actual risks. One can see on this map that it is not just a Willamette Valley or Columbia Gorge problem.

There are examples of homes in Central Oregon that have tested 10-20 times higher than the EPA action level.

It is important to know the risk in your home. If radon levels test above EPA thresholds, mitigation is extremely effective.
