Why Lincoln Homes Test High

Nebraska's radon originates from uranium-bearing shale and granite formations under the Great Plains. Lincoln's permeable loess-covered soils allow radon to migrate readily toward building foundations. The city's diverse housing stock — from pre-WWII homes near downtown to post-1990 suburban development south of town — all show significant radon variation; testing is the only reliable way to know.
