About Limerick

Radon Risk in Co. Limerick

In EPA measurements to end-2019, 7.4% of homes tested in Limerick were at or above the Reference Level of 200 Bq/m³, below the national share of 14.1% of homes tested. Because testing was promoted hardest in known high-radon areas, these are shares of homes tested, not of all homes in Limerick. Radon is Ireland's leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, making a radon check essential for any property buyer in Limerick. PropertyPack includes EPA radon zone data and risk classification for any Eircode in Limerick City, Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale and surrounding areas.

Source: Radon results by county, EPA measurements to 31 Dec 2019 (EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)). Homes that tested are a self-selected sample (testing was promoted hardest in high-radon areas), so these percentages overstate county-wide prevalence. Nationally, the EPA's 2022 radon risk map predicts 170,000 Irish homes above the Reference Level, and a High Radon Area is anywhere more than 1 home in 10 is predicted to exceed it.
