What other earth materials in Ohio are likely to be a source of radon?
A Some localized radon “hot spots” may be associated with relatively permeable and dry sediments. These could be the sands and gravels found on valley floors, or the soils that develop on hillsides. Although such materials may not be enriched in uranium, they can still cause high indoor radon levels by making it easier, by virtue of their permeability and dryness, for radon to get to the surface and, hence, into buildings. Q22. I have a question related to radon that I would like to share with other homeowners. A. Please e-mail your question to Dr. Ashok Kumar, akumar@utnet.utoledo.edu. Your question may be edited for both content and length before being posted on the web site.
