Locations and reportsLocation Report
Start here: your area's radon picture, and what to do this week
Every radon fix starts with two things: knowing your area and testing your home. The Location Report gives you the first, and the plan for the second, in one dated PDF for $5.
$5 report + $0.46 card processing
The outcome
What you walk away with
Area data, never a reading of a home. What it gives you is a clear next step.
Know your area
EPA's predicted zone and the tests reported to CDC for your county, each labelled and dated.
Test this week
Which test, where to put it, closed-house conditions, and how long it runs.
Decide on the number
What EPA says to do at each level, what a fix costs, and who near you can do it.
Why now
Your area, and what is at stake
Your county's published figures when you have chosen one, beside EPA's national estimate. Then the step that answers both: test your home.
Your place
See your county’s radon picture here
Type your county, city, ZIP or address. Its EPA zone and the tests reported there show here, and the builder opens on it.
Across the U.S.
About 21,000
Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year, EPA estimates.
EPA calls radon the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. Nearly 1 out of every 15 homes in the U.S. is estimated to have elevated radon levels.
Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon.
The fix starts with knowing your area and testing your home. The report is that first step, for any county in the country.

Questions
Straight answers
Is this a radon test?
No. It gathers what is published about radon for an area. Only a test measures a home, and the report’s testing section shows how to run one this week.
Is it a reading of my house?
No. Every figure describes the area: EPA’s predicted zone for the county, tests reported to CDC for buildings in it, and what Radon411 calculates from those. An address is used only to find its county, city and ZIP. The cover of every report says so.
What does it add to the free page?
The free page stays complete. The report adds a cover letter for your role, your state’s disclosure rule as its own page states it, question sheets, how to read a measurement report, a cost sheet from published figures only, nearby listed professionals, and every source with its date, in one dated document.
Why $5?
One price for one place, whatever sections you choose. Card processing is added on top and shown first, so Radon411 receives $5.00 for the report. A pack brings it to $4.00 or $3.00 a report.
What is the report activity on this page?
Real report activity on Radon411: a report preview opened, a checkout started or a report bought, by county only, at least five minutes after it happened and never older than three days. No names, no addresses, no counts. When there is nothing to show, nothing shows.
Does my role change the figures?
No. The role changes the words: the cover letter and the order and headings of the question sheets. The data is the same for everyone.
When can I buy one?
Payments are not switched on yet, so nothing can be bought or charged today. You can build and preview your report now; the builder’s last step will take payment when it opens.
