Radon tests reported for Bulloch County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 21 reported tests for Bulloch County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 0.2 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Bulloch County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 21 tests were reported to CDC for Bulloch County over 2008 to 2017 (laboratory totals), and tests are often run on homes being sold or already suspected of a problem: so few describe neither the county nor this house.
Measured: CDC tracking data. Figure above: 2008 to 2017, laboratory. Measured data period: 2005 to 2017 (every CDC figure on file).
Bulloch County, Compared
Bulloch County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Bulloch County rests on 22 tests over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 4.5 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 3.0 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.4 pCi/L.
The nearest counties with a figure are Chatham County (45 miles away) at 0.0%, Laurens County (69 miles away) at 16.1% and Richmond County (69 miles away) at 0.0%. Pooled across 137 Georgia counties, 23.9% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.8%.
Statewide for the same period, Barrow County reported the highest share (51.0%) and Dougherty County the lowest (0.0%). EPA's 1993 map puts Bulloch County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 100% of the county's land low radon potential.

Bulloch County, Geology
The ground under Bulloch County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Bulloch County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. The map puts 65.0% of Bulloch County in the area it calls Coastal Plain and 35.0% in Coastal Plain. USGS gives the first a radon index of 8 and the second 7, both in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coastal Plain | Cretaceous and Tertiary marine and coastal sediments including limestone, sandstone, sand, silt, and clay. Coastal plan sands containing glauconite may generate locally elevated radon. | Low | 8 | 65.0% |
| Coastal Plain | Quaternary and Pleistocene-Pliocene coastal sand and gravel, lagoon and marsh clay and silt. | Low | 7 | 35.0% |

Bulloch County beside the ground around it
Across Georgia 26.5% of the land is rated moderate; none of Bulloch County's is. None of the 7 counties that border it has any moderate-potential ground either.
