Even the newest home can have the potential for radon gas. In fact, it is often in the newest homes that have the highest radon concentrations. The Environmental Protection Agency compiles maps that outline the radon risk zones throughout the United States. Wythe County, along with most of Southwest Virginia, has been rated as a Zone 1, which means it has the highest potential for radon with a predicted average indoor radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L. There are approximately 700 cases of lung cancer attributed to radon gas exposure in Virginia each year, most of which coming from the Zone 1 areas.
