Radon in Oklahoma: radon map by county
EPA's Map of Radon Zones puts 0 of Oklahoma's 77 counties in Zone 1 (predicted average indoor radon above 4 pCi/L), 9 in Zone 2 and 68 in Zone 3. Of 501 building tests that radon laboratories reported for 2008 to 2017, 12.5% were at or above EPA's 4 pCi/L action level, against 36.5% nationally. The highest county share is Delaware County (41.9% of 20 tests).

Lab tests: buildings tested by radon laboratories, 2008 to 2017; median in pCi/L; “4+ pCi/L” is the share of tests at or above EPA's action level. n/a: no value on file (no tests, or too few to report).
What the zones mean
Zone 1 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level above 4 pCi/L, Zone 2 from 2 to 4 pCi/L and Zone 3 below 2 pCi/L. The prediction is from 1993 indoor measurements, geology, aerial radioactivity, soils and foundation types. EPA: “This map should not be used to determine if individual homes need to be tested.” EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or more and considering a fix between 2 and 4 pCi/L, because there is no known safe level of exposure.
Radon in Oklahoma: questions
What radon zone is Oklahoma?
EPA's 1993 map does not give states one zone; it zones each county. In Oklahoma, 0 counties are Zone 1, 9 Zone 2 and 68 Zone 3. EPA says the map "should not be used to determine if individual homes need to be tested".
Which Oklahoma counties have the highest radon levels?
By the share of laboratory tests at or above 4 pCi/L for 2008 to 2017 (counties with 20 or more tests): Delaware County 41.9% (median 2.3 pCi/L, 20 tests); Cherokee County 31.4% (median 1.9 pCi/L, 32 tests); Oklahoma County 8.4% (median 0.8 pCi/L, 70 tests); Tulsa County 8.2% (median 0.9 pCi/L, 168 tests); Cleveland County 0% (median 1.0 pCi/L, 21 tests).
How common is high radon in Oklahoma?
12.5% of the 501 tests in the laboratory data for Oklahoma (2008 to 2017) were at or above 4 pCi/L; the national share was 36.5%. Buildings are tested by choice, often because of a sale or a concern, so the share describes the tests on file, not every home.
Should I test for radon in Oklahoma?
Yes. EPA recommends testing every home no matter where it is, fixing it at 4 pCi/L or more and considering a fix between 2 and 4 pCi/L, because there is no known safe level of radon exposure.
