Cook County

EPA Zone 2

Affluent Winnetka sits along Lake Michigan in Cook County, where glacial till deposits from the Wisconsin glaciation create soil conditions highly favorable for radon gas production and migration. Despite limited current testing data for this North Shore community, the area's predominantly single-family homes built between the 1950s and 1990s, most with full poured-concrete or block basements, warrant radon assessment. Full basements are standard in this region, providing the enclosed below-grade spaces where radon accumulates most readily.
