Radon Risk in Oregon

Radon Risk Level in Oregon

The Oregon Public Health Division recommends that all homes test for radon regardless of the risk level assigned to the home's geographic location.

Oregon Radon Awareness Program (ORAP) requests radon test kit manufacturers to voluntarily submit short-term and long-term radon tests. These tests have been conducted mainly by residents of single-family homes. This information is used to identify radon risk levels in Oregon and is uploaded to create the radon risk map.
