Predicted: EPA radon zone

EPA Zone 3: lower predicted potential

is EPA's lowest class, and its forecast for Loving 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.

Loving County radon figures, compared

Calculated by Radon411

Loving County has no radon test figure of its own from CDC, whose counts over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals name 140 other Texas counties and leave it out. Pooled across 140 Texas counties, 10.4% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.8%.

Lea County, NM, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, reported 13.3% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Midland County (91 miles away) at 1.0%, El Paso County (156 miles away) at 0.0% and Lubbock County (159 miles away) at 57.8% have figures too. Statewide for the same period, Randall County reported the highest share (71.4%) and Nueces County the lowest (0.0%).

EPA's 1993 map puts Loving County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 94% of the county's land low radon potential.

The map puts 93.9% of Loving County in the area it calls Southern High Plains and Plateaus and 6.1% in Western Mountains and Basins. USGS gives the first a radon index of 7, in the low band (5 to 8), and the second 9, in the moderate band (9 to 11).
