Original Kentucky-focused radon content — geological deep dives, real estate transaction playbooks, regulatory explainers, contractor verification guides, and seasonal awareness articles. Each article cross-references authoritative sources (EPA, ALA, AARST, Kentucky DEP/HHS) and is regularly updated to reflect current standards.
Not every company that shows up in a 'radon testing near me' search is actually certified to work in Kentucky. Here's how to check credentials before you pay for a test.
Using radon tests reported to the CDC (2008–2017), here’s how Kentucky counties compare — the highest-radon counties, the lowest, and why a below-average county still isn’t a safe one.
Kentucky doesn't require schools to test for radon, but its fractured limestone geology makes elevated levels especially likely in ground-floor classrooms. Here's what parents can do.
Published reporting has documented a 528 pCi/L radon reading in Louisville's Buechel neighborhood — 132× the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. What does this individual home reading mean for the surrounding community, what's the geological explanation, and what should Louisville Metro homeowners do?
Kentucky's seller disclosure statute (KRS §324.360) mandates a specific written radon warning, plus disclosure of any known testing or mitigation. Combined with KRS §§ 309.430-309.454 (the Kentucky Board of Radon Safety contractor registration statute), Kentucky has a uniquely structured radon transaction framework. Here's how it actually works.
Kentucky is the highest-radon state east of the Mississippi River — 6th nationally per state-comparison data. The cause is geological: Inner Bluegrass karst limestone + Eastern Coal Field black shale + Eastern Escarpment fractures combine to produce some of the most efficient radon transport pathways in the eastern US.
