Radon tests reported for Beaver County, 2006 to 2015, laboratory
CDC holds 1 reported test for Beaver County over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, a result of 0.1 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Beaver County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 1 test was reported to CDC for Beaver County over 2006 to 2015 (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: 2006 to 2015, laboratory. Measured data period: 2005 to 2015 (every CDC figure on file).
Beaver County, Compared
Beaver County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Beaver County rests on 2 tests over the 2005 to 2014 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 50.0 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 1.0 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.6 pCi/L.
The nearest counties with a figure are Oklahoma County (190 miles away) at 8.9%, Washington County (254 miles away) at 11.3% and Tulsa County (256 miles away) at 6.0%. Pooled across 53 Oklahoma counties, 12.6% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 36.3%.
Statewide for the same period, Delaware County reported the highest share (44.7%) and Tulsa County the lowest (6.0%). EPA's 1993 map puts Beaver County in Zone 2, its middle label: a predicted county average between 2 and 4 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 95% of the county's land moderate radon potential.
Pooled shares: Radon411's sum of CDC's county counts for one period.

The ground under Beaver County
PredictedMost of the ground under Beaver County is one class on USGS's geologic map: 95.1% of its land is moderate radon potential, with 5.0% low. The map puts 50.8% of Beaver County in the area it calls Cimmaron River Valley and 44.1% in High Plains, with one smaller area beside them. USGS gives the first a radon index of 10 and the second 9, both in the moderate band (9 to 11).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cimmaron River Valley | Tertiary and Quaternary sandstone, siltstone, shale, and alluvium overlain by eolian sand and loess. | Moderate | 10 | 50.8% |
| High Plains | Tertiary sandstone, siltstone, shale. | Moderate | 9 | 44.1% |
| Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills | Nonmarine Permian and Tertiary rocks, including shale, sandstone, and conglomerate in the western part, and Mississippian and Pennsylvanian rocks in the eastern part. | Low | 7 | 5.0% |
