EPA Zone 3: lower predicted potential

is EPA's lowest class, and its forecast for Treutlen County as a whole is an average indoor of less than 2 pCi/L (less than 75 Bq/m³). A low zone clears no address in it: homes above EPA's turn up in all three zones.

Measured: tests reported to CDC

Radon tests reported for Treutlen County, 2007 to 2016, laboratory

CDC holds 4 reported tests for Treutlen County over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, with a median of 0.2 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Treutlen County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.

What these figures count

Only 4 tests were reported to CDC for Treutlen County over 2007 to 2016 (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: 2007 to 2016, laboratory. Measured data period: 2005 to 2016 (every CDC figure on file).

Treutlen County, Compared

Treutlen County radon figures, compared

Calculated by Radon411

CDC's largest figure for Treutlen County rests on 4 tests over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 25.0 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 0.2 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.2 pCi/L.

Laurens County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, reported 16.1% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Houston County (64 miles away) at 8.2%, Bibb County (72 miles away) at 0.0% and Richmond County (72 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 Treutlen 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.
