Radon tests reported for Pulaski County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 22 reported tests for Pulaski County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 2.3 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 22 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: 2005 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 22 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 7 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 26.1 pCi/L, with a middle value of 2.3 pCi/L.
Of the counties bordering it, 5 have a figure over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals: Fulton County reported the largest share at or above 4 pCi/L, 46.4%, and Jasper County the smallest, 14.1%, with Marshall County at 39.7%, White County at 35.7% and Cass County at 34.1% between. Farther out, Carroll County (32 miles away) at 60.5%, Porter County (35 miles away) at 46.5% and LaPorte County (35 miles away) at 58.2% have figures too. Pooled across 92 Indiana counties, 38.9% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.7%.
Statewide for the same period, Miami County reported the highest share (63.3%) and Jasper County the lowest (14.1%). EPA's 1993 map puts Pulaski County in Zone 2, its middle label: a predicted county average between 2 and 4 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 57% of the county's land moderate 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 splits Pulaski County: 56.9% of its land is moderate radon potential and 43.1% high. The map puts 56.9% of Pulaski County in the area it calls Kankakee Outwash and Lacustrine Plain and 28.8% in Huron-Erie Lobe, with one smaller area beside them. USGS gives the first a radon index of 10, in the moderate band (9 to 11), and the second 13, in the high band (12 to 17).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kankakee Outwash and Lacustrine Plain | Moraine deposits, outwash and dune sands. | Moderate | 10 | 56.9% |
| Huron-Erie Lobe | Calcareous clayey and loamy glacial deposits derived from marine carbonate and clastic sedimentary rocks. | High | 13 | 28.8% |
| Saginaw Lobe | Clayey and loamy glacial deposits. | High | 12 | 14.4% |
