New Hampshire New Data Story Published
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services Radon Program has posted a new data story, “Radon in New Hampshire. Test. Fix. Save a Live.” Visit https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9ae32c5f346f459188fa676f8d9eef44. The story was published by the New Hampshire Radon Program on October 28, 2024. The information is designed for the public “to learn about radon in New Hampshire and what you can do to protect yourself and your family.”
The data story links to the publication “Radon Risk in New Hampshire” which is a downloadable brochure. The brochure notes samples collected in New Hampshire homes from 2007 to 2021 (n=32,747) suggest that 37% of homes have a concentration of 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Among homes with elevated radon concentrations of 4 pCi/L or higher, the median concentration varied by county, ranging from 6.0-9.1 pCi/L. Values above 100 pCi/L have been reported in every county in New Hampshire
