Binghamton, Questions
Questions about radon in Binghamton
What radon zone is Binghamton in?
EPA's Map of Radon Zones classifies counties, not cities. Broome 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.
How many radon tests come back high in Binghamton's counties?
For 2023, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 25.0% in Broome County (12 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 Binghamton?
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.
The answers use the published figures of Broome County, the county Binghamton lies in.
