Radon Map
This dataset presents a national map predicting the proportion of homes within each grid square in Ireland that exceed the national Reference Level for radon gas. Grid squares where the predicted percentage of homes exceeding this level reaches 10% or more are classified as High Radon Areas. It is published by the Environmental Protection Agency and provides a geographic basis for identifying areas of elevated radon risk across the country.This map shows a prediction of the number of homes in a given grid square that exceed the national Reference Level. Grid squares in which the predicted percentage of homes is 10% or greater are called High Radon Areas.
