Questions about radon in Lewiston
What radon zone is Lewiston in?
EPA's Map of Radon Zones classifies counties, not cities. Niagara County is in Zone 2 (moderate 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 Lewiston's counties?
For 2023, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 11.1% in Niagara County (9 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 Lewiston?
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.
