The interactive map shows the levels of radon across the country and if you click ‘show Radon Levels’ you can see how badly the area you live in is affected. The map uses radon readings to estimate how much at risk your area is of having higher levels of radon. Both the Peak District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales National Park are islands of higher levels of radiation as well. Apart from a spike in radon levels in Berwick-on-Tweed on the east-coast, Scotland has generally low levels of radiation than the neighbouring home nations. There are plenty of ways to reduce levels of radon too, from radon sumps to underfloor ventilation.
