Radon is a radioactive gas that forms when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It has no color, smell, or taste. The U.S. EPA estimates it causes about 21,000 lung cancer deaths a year in the United States, and it is the leading cause of lung cancer among people who have never smoked.
North Alabama's limestone valleys are one reason Madison County carries a Zone 1 rating. That rating describes the county's predicted average, not your home. Neighbors on the same street can get very different results, which is why the EPA tells everyone to test.

Common questions
Is Madison County a high-radon area?
Yes. Madison County is in Zone 1, the highest-potential category, on the EPA Map of Radon Zones, and the Alabama Department of Public Health lists it among the 15 Alabama counties with the highest radon potential. The only way to know about your own house is to test it.
What radon level should I fix?
The EPA recommends fixing your home if radon is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher, and considering a fix between 2 and 4 pCi/L.
Does Alabama require a radon license?
No. Alabama has no state radon licensing law, so certification is the main quality signal. The Alabama Department of Public Health points residents to professionals listed with the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB).
