Why test in Middle Tennessee?
EPA places Davidson County in Zone 1, its highest-potential category.41 TDEC says elevated radon is more common in East Tennessee, but levels needing immediate action have turned up in every county.3 Metro Health adds that test results vary widely from home to home in all parts of the county, so a neighbor's number doesn't tell you yours.1
