Radon tests reported for Pulaski County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 19 reported tests for Pulaski County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 0.6 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Pulaski County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 19 tests were reported to CDC for Pulaski 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: 2007 to 2017 (every CDC figure on file).
Pulaski County, Compared
Pulaski County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Pulaski County rests on 19 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 5.3 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 1.1 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.6 pCi/L.
Houston County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, reported 8.2% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Laurens County (36 miles away) at 16.1%, Bibb County (42 miles away) at 0.0% and Jones County (55 miles away) at 26.5% 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 Pulaski 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.
Pooled shares: Radon411's sum of CDC's county counts for one period.
Pulaski County, Geology
The ground under Pulaski County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Pulaski County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Coastal Plain, to which USGS gives a radon index of 8, 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 | 100% |

Pulaski County beside the ground around it
Across Georgia 26.5% of the land is rated moderate; none of Pulaski County's is. None of the 5 counties that border it has any moderate-potential ground either.
