Kansas Radon Levels
Kansas has a user submitted radon level of 8.31. This is based on data submitted from visitors on our site. Learn more here.
EPA Radon Levels
Kansas has 105 counties and 65 (62%) have been assigned Zone 1 counties by the EPA. Zone 1 counties have the highest potential to have homes test higher than 4 pCi/L. Kansas's state radon zone average is 1.38, which is the average of all county zone ratings the EPA has assigned the state, ranking it 11 among all states.
The radon levels in Kansas are above average in many areas of the state. That means there’s an increased risk for all homeowners, which is why we recommend testing exposure levels at least twice a year.

Kansas Radon Real Estate Requirements
Does the state of Kansas require radon testing for all real estate transactions? No
However both the state of Kansas and the EPA recommend that a home or residence should be tested before a real estate transaction is carried out. Even though Kansas does not require radon testing, we certainly recommend you have a test performed before you purchase a home. If you decide to perform a test after and find elevated levels, there is no reason to panic. Kansas radon mitigation is not expensive compared to the dangers and a system can be implemented in a relatively short period of time.
Kansas Radon Map
Zone 1 (1): Potential for radon levels above 4 pCi/L according to EPA
Zone 2 (2): Potential for radon levels between 2 pCi/L and 4 pCi/L according to the EPA
Zone 3 (3): Lowest EPA level with expected radon levels at or below 2 pCi/L
Disclaimer: It is strongly recommended that all households, schools and office spaces test radon levels individually. The EPA Radon Zone data is not an indicator of individual test results, but a guideline for strategic planning. Toxic radon levels can be found in all counties, regardless of their zone rating. While we make efforts to keep this information up to date, it is derived from thirdparty sources which may not be accurate or reflect the most current statistics.
