Property Radon Risk in County Monaghan

radioactive

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps from the ground into buildings across Ireland. In County Monaghan, with its drumlin-studded rolling hills in the north midlands, the EPA has mapped radon risk zones to help homeowners take preventive action. While Monaghan'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 Monaghan or Carrickmacross is a prudent step.
