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.
