Radon tests reported for Camden County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 11 reported tests for Camden 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). Camden County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 11 tests were reported to CDC for Camden 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).
Camden County, Compared
Camden County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Camden County rests on 14 tests over the 2005 to 2014 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 7.1 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 3.1 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.2 pCi/L.
Nassau County, FL, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, reported 2.9% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Chatham County (80 miles away) at 0.0%, Laurens County (129 miles away) at 16.1% and Dougherty County (156 miles away) at 0.0% have figures too. 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 Camden County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 87% of the county's land low radon potential.

The ground under Camden County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Camden County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. 86.7% of it lies in the area the map calls Coastal Plain, to which USGS gives a radon index of 7, in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coastal Plain | Quaternary and Pleistocene-Pliocene coastal sand and gravel, lagoon and marsh clay and silt. | Low | 7 | 86.7% |

Camden County beside the ground around it
Across Georgia 26.5% of the land is rated moderate; none of Camden County's is. None of the 4 counties that border it has any moderate-potential ground either.
