Pawnee County, Compared
Pawnee County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411Pawnee County has no radon test figure of its own from CDC, whose counts over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals name 53 other Oklahoma counties and leave it out. Pooled across 53 Oklahoma counties, 12.6% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 36.3%.
Tulsa County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, reported 6.0% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Washington County (52 miles away) at 11.3%, Oklahoma County (66 miles away) at 8.9% and Cherokee County (99 miles away) at 32.0% have figures too. 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 Pawnee 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.

Pawnee County, Geology
The ground under Pawnee County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Pawnee County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills, to which USGS gives a radon index of 7, in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | 100% |
