Property Radon Risk in County Clare

radioactive

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps from the ground into buildings across Ireland. In County Clare, with its Atlantic coastline, the Burren karst landscape, and the Cliffs of Moher, the EPA has mapped radon risk zones to help homeowners take preventive action. While Clare's geology is not predominantly granite, localised pockets of elevated radon can still occur depending on soil type and subsoil permeability. Checking radon risk before buying a property in Ennis or Shannon is a prudent step.
