Questions about radon in Lexington
What radon zone is Lexington in?
EPA's Map of Radon Zones classifies counties, not cities. Fayette County is in Zone 1 (highest predicted potential). A zone is a prediction for a whole county and never tells you the level in one home.

For 2008 to 2017, laboratory, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 54.5% in Fayette County (5,263 tests). Each is that county's own figure, counting tests reported to CDC, not homes. Radon411 does not average or combine them into a figure for the city.
Should I test my home in Lexington?
Yes. Testing is the only way to know the radon level in a specific building. EPA recommends fixing a home when the radon level is 4 pCi/L or higher. EPA recommends considering a fix when the level is between 2 and 4 pCi/L. How to test a home.
