NEW MEXICO - EPA Map of Radon Zones The purpose of this map is to assist National, State and local organizations to target their resources and to implement radon-resistant building codes. This map is not intended to determine if a home in a given zone should be tested for radon. Homes with elevated levels of radon have been found in all three zones. All homes should be tested, regardless of zone designation. http://www.epa.gov/radon/zonemap.html SAN JUAN RIO ARRIBA TAOS COLFAX UNION LOS ALAMOS MORA MCKINLEY HARD NG SANDOVAL SANTA FE I SAN MIGUEL CBOLA BERNAL LLO QUAY VALENCIA I GUADALUPE TORRANCE CURRY DE BACA CATRON SOCORRO L NCOLN ROOSEVELT CHAVES SERRA GRANT OTERO LEA LUNA DONA ANA EDDY H DALGO Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 IMPORTANT: Consult the publication entitled "Preliminary Geologic Radon Potential Assessment of New Mexico" (USGS Open-file Report 93-292-F) before using this map. http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/radon/grpinfo.html This document contains information on radon potential variations within counties.
