EPA Zone 3: lower predicted potential

is EPA's lowest class, and its forecast for Marshall County as a whole is an average indoor of less than 2 pCi/L (less than 75 Bq/m³). A low zone clears no address in it: homes above EPA's turn up in all three zones.

Marshall County, Compared

Marshall County radon figures, compared

Calculated by Radon411

CDC's county radon counts over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals cover 53 Oklahoma counties, and Marshall County is not among them: no year's figure and no ten-year laboratory total names it. Pooled across 53 Oklahoma counties, 12.6% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 36.3%.

The nearest counties with a figure are Oklahoma County (111 miles away) at 8.9%, Tulsa County (152 miles away) at 6.0% and Cherokee County (164 miles away) at 32.0%. 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 Marshall County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 100% of the county's land low radon potential.
