Understanding Radon in Georgia
The invisible threat affecting thousands of Georgia homes
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the decay of uranium in soil and rock. It's colorless, odorless, and tasteless—making it impossible to detect without professional testing. As radon gas rises from the ground, it can accumulate to dangerous levels inside buildings, creating a significant health hazard for Georgia residents.
21,000 Deaths
Annual lung cancer deaths from radon exposure in the United States
1 in 15 Homes
Nationwide have elevated radon levels above the EPA action threshold
#2 Cause
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking
In Georgia, the combination of granite bedrock, uranium-bearing soils, and diverse housing construction creates unique radon challenges. The Georgia Department of Public Health recommends all Georgia homes be tested, particularly in North Georgia and Metro Atlanta where EPA Zone 1 classification indicates high radon potential.
Why Georgia Has Elevated Radon Levels
Understanding the geological factors that create radon risk across the Peach State
North Georgia: Blue Ridge & Piedmont
North Georgia sits atop the Blue Ridge and Piedmont geological provinces, characterized by ancient metamorphic and igneous rocks including granite, gneiss, and schist. These formations are naturally enriched with uranium-238, the parent element of radon.
- Granite bedrock contains 2-8 ppm uranium on average
- Fractured rock allows easy radon migration
- Cherokee & Forsyth counties show highest averages
Metro Atlanta & Central Georgia
Metro Atlanta straddles the transition between Piedmont crystalline rocks and Coastal Plain sediments. This geological diversity means radon levels can vary significantly between adjacent neighborhoods and even next-door properties.
- Soil permeability affects radon transport
- Clay soils can trap and concentrate radon
- Each property requires individual testing
How Radon Enters Georgia Homes
Foundation Cracks
Settlement and shrinkage cracks in concrete slabs and walls
Service Penetrations
Gaps around plumbing, electrical, and HVAC penetrations
Sump Pits & Drains
Openings in floor drains and sump pump basins
Construction Joints
Gaps at wall-floor connections and expansion joints
Georgia EPA Radon Zone Classification
The EPA classifies Georgia counties into zones based on predicted average indoor radon screening levels
EPA Zone 1 - High Potential (>4 pCi/L)
Counties predicted to have average indoor screening levels greater than 4 pCi/L. Highest radon risk in Georgia.
EPA Zone 2 - Moderate Potential (2-4 pCi/L)
Counties predicted to have average indoor screening levels between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Still requires testing.
Important: EPA Zones Are Estimates Only
EPA zone designations are based on geologic and aerial radioactivity data, not actual indoor measurements. Homes in any zone can have elevated radon levels. The only way to know your property's radon level is through professional testing. We've found elevated levels in Zone 3 properties and safe levels in Zone 1—individual testing is essential.
Radon Health Risks for Georgia Residents
Understanding the serious health consequences of radon exposure
How Radon Causes Lung Cancer
When radon gas is inhaled, radioactive particles become trapped in lung tissue. These particles emit alpha radiation that damages DNA in lung cells over time. Repeated damage leads to mutations that can develop into lung cancer, typically appearing 5-25 years after prolonged exposure.
Who Is Most At Risk?
- Smokers: 10-15x higher risk than non-smokers exposed to radon
- Children: Higher respiration rates increase exposure
- Long-term residents: Risk increases with duration of exposure
Radon Risk Comparison
Based on EPA risk estimates for non-smokers over a lifetime of exposure
Georgia Radon-Related Lung Cancer Deaths
Based on EPA models, an estimated 500+ Georgia residents die annually from radon-induced lung cancer. This makes radon one of Georgia's most significant environmental health risks—yet it's completely preventable with proper testing and mitigation.
