Understanding Radon Measurements in Wyoming County Water

Range Observed in Local Wells

Government testing found radon-222 in five wells in the Wyoming County 327NEWR aquifer, ranging from 3.0 to 145.0 pCi/L with a median of 8.0 pCi/L.

Federal Thresholds and Detected Levels

None of these results exceeded federal radon levels set for water. Detection means instruments recorded radon presence but does not imply a violation or unsafe condition.

What Measurement Does Not Reveal

These figures describe area-wide groundwater conditions and are not specific to any individual household well or tap water.

How Radon Enters Region Groundwater

Natural Geological Sources

Radon-222 originates from natural decay of uranium in rocks and soil beneath Wyoming County, leaching into aquifers like 327NEWR.

Well Depth Influence

Sampled wells ranged 72 to 317 feet deep; depth can affect radon levels but varies widely depending on local geology.

Key Information to Gather Before Treatment Decisions

Test Your Own Water

Confirm radon concentration in your household water with a certified laboratory test to understand your specific situation.

Review Water Source Details

Note well depth and construction since these factors influence radon presence separate from area data.

Consider Radon Levels in Air

Radon can also be a concern in indoor air; testing both water and air provides a complete view.

Changes to Water After Treatment with the Pentair Radon in Water Filter

Reduction of Radon Concentration

The Pentair Radon in Water Filter operates to reduce radon dissolved in water, improving water quality at the tap.

Impact on Water Taste and Appearance

This system addresses radon without altering mineral content or creating noticeable changes in water taste or clarity.

System Configuration

This equipment ships ready to configure, enabling residential users to add radon reduction without extensive setup complexity.

Interpreting Wyoming County Sampling Data Scope

Sample Size and Wells Tested

Results come from five wells in Wyoming County’s 327NEWR aquifer sampled in 2016, which is a limited dataset for broad conclusions.

Variability in Radon Levels

The wide range of radon values shows natural variability in groundwater radon across nearby wells and depths.

Implications of Small Sample Sets

While useful as background, this small number of samples cannot substitute for home-specific water testing.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2016-09-06. These figures describe groundwater sampled in this area. They are not a test of any individual private well - only a test of that well can establish its own water.

On record: U.S. Geological Survey sampling of Radon-222 in the 327NEWR aquifer (Wyoming County): 5 results from 5 wells, median 8.0 pCi/L, range 3.0-145.0 pCi/L; none above any federal threshold
