Radon Problems Highlight Eastern Iowa Homes
A study by Linn County Public Health finds that over one third of Linn County homes and many in 14 Eastern Iowa counties exceed the EPA action level for radon. Median test results range from 4.4 to 4.6 picocuries per liter, with Buchanan County peaking at 10.1. Residents are urged to test and consider radon mitigation, especially in new homes, and free test kits are available locally.
