Radon zones in Missouri

What this means for Missouri homes

Most Missouri counties fall in Zone 2. EPA predicts moderate average indoor levels (2 to 4 pCi/L) across much of Missouri. Many homes will be below the action level, but many will not, and only a test can tell which.

EPA’s guidance is the same everywhere: test your home, fix it if the level is 4 pCi/L or higher, and consider fixing between 2 and 4 pCi/L. The zone map is from 1993 and should not be used to decide whether a single home needs testing.

Missouri radon program

EPA lists the following state contact for Missouri: Bureau of Environmental Epidemiology, MO Department of Health and Senior Services, phone 573-751-6102. Website: health.mo.gov. State programs can tell you about local testing data, free or discounted test kits, disclosure rules for home sales, and credentialed radon professionals.

County names follow the 2020 Census. Zones from the EPA Map of Radon Zones (text version). Rows marked “zone of” use the zone EPA gave the predecessor or surrounding county.
