Why radon testing matters in Westerly

Westerly's granite bedrock — the same granite the town is historically known for — is exactly the kind of geology that can be a natural radon source. Combined with a wide range of housing eras, this makes testing a straightforward step for any Westerly home.

Shoreline and inland Westerly homes should both be evaluated on their own results rather than by proximity to the coast.

EPA and Rhode Island guidance

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends that homes be tested for radon and that action be considered when long-term average levels reach or exceed 4 pCi/L. Rhode Island guidance follows the same framework. See our pages on understanding radon results, what to do about a high radon result, and Rhode Island radon information for more.
