Radon Map for Workplaces
This map shows those areas where radon tests are required in workplaces. These areas are shown in red. This map is based on the radon risk map of Ireland. It is based on an analysis of indoor radon measurements plus geological information including, bedrock type, quaternary geology, soil permeability and aquifer type.

- Purpose
-
Regulation 66 of S.I. 30 of 2019 requires that all workplaces at ground floor or basement level in High Radon Areas are tested for radon. This test must be done in accordance with guidance from the EPA. The Radon Map for Workplaces displays these High Radon Areas (in red) and will assist employers to comply with the regulation by quickly identifying if a workplace building is located in a High Radon Area.

The map is based on one published by Elio et al (2017). Details can be found here: Logistic regression model for detecting radon prone areas in Ireland - ScienceDirect
An independent validation of this methodology was carried out by the EPA Analytics team before the map was adopted. A report of this analysis is available from the EPA.
