Radon Program

The Radon Program is responsible for gathering and disseminating information on radon occurrence within New Hampshire, the health effects associated with exposure to radon, and the various means of reducing radon concentrations in both indoor air and water supplies. A statewide radon database consisting of results of indoor radon tests conducted by household residents contains several thousand readings. Geographic distribution of radon test results is used to identify the relative frequency of occurrence of elevated radon levels throughout New Hampshire. Program staff are available to give radon-related presentations and frequently do so for schools, real estate offices and organizations.
