West Palm Beach Radon Levels by Zip Code
The Florida Health department has created a great database, linked here, of radon test results as reported by certified radon businesses and facilities per Florida Statute 404.056. This tool allows you to see the percentage of radon tests that returned greater than a 4 pCi/L result. The EPA recommends homes and properties be mitigated if the level of radon is above 4 pCi/L.
Below are some of the zip codes in Palm Beach County over 10% that we were able to acquire. Last checked: July 17th 2022:

Per the Florida Department of Health: This radon data does not represent a scientific or statistical survey; therefore, it should be interpreted with caution. The data provides an indication of the radon potential within a zip code if a large enough and properly distributed number of buildings have been tested and reported for the area. This data cannot be used to predict the radon level for existing or new construction. Structural features, construction details, and ventilation operations differ from building to building and greatly influence radon concentration. Structures within the same zip code may have dramatically different indoor radon levels due to these differences. Inferring indoor radon levels for untested buildings based on indoor radon data from tested buildings is not possible.

Combining small town life with the energy of a city, West Palm Beach is a bustling economic center with beautiful and historic downtown areas. The city's population has been growing steadily over the past decades as younger generations are attracted to the city's charm and robust real estate opportunities. Popular communities include Flamingo Park, Downtown, Historic Northwood, and Grandview Heights. West Palm Beach is impacted by a combination of all three radon source issues including ground source radon, building materials emanation, and radon impacted groundwater.
Acreage Cancer Cluster and Radon Impacted Groundwater
EnviroHome was hired to test groundwater due to the presence of a Cancer Cluster in The Acreage community in West Palm Beach. Members of the community began reporting abnormally high incidences of extremely rare brain and head tumors starting as early as 2009 alerting the Department of Health to investigate the root cause.
As part of the investigation into the cause of the elevated level of severe health issues in the area, EnviroHome conducted exhaustive testing of the area's groundwater. Findings included elevated levels of radon in the drinking and irrigation water used by the community for such activities as drinking water, showering, cooking, pools, and crop irrigation.
A number of other hazardous chemical sources were also investigated for brain barrier transmit of radiological concerns which could explain the incidents of a child Cancer cluster. EnviroHome found the radon in the neighborhood's water came from naturally occurring deposits of radon impacting the area's well water. Radon occurring naturally underground in the area's soil would have dissolved and built up in the water. This radon laden water, introduced into the home through water taps, escapes the water and goes into the air and can be a major expose uptake concern during showering.
Radon is able to build up in well water if the wells are not open to air. In the case where water is open to their air, in the case of rivers, lakes and other open sources, the radon is able to escape into the air and dilute in the outside air.
Other Sources in West Palm Beach
In addition to the presence of radon in the area's groundwater, our company has found highly elevated radon levels in many South Florida concrete building structures without a radon ground source. Test results clearly show that the radon comes from the building materials and specifically from the poured concrete.
The problem is most significant in West Palm Beach condominium, apartments, and high-rise structures where large volumes of formed in-place concrete are used and where large concrete surface areas are present in close proximity to building occupants living in the individual units.
Our radon testing and mitigation company specializes in radon emanating from building materials. We provide testing, diagnosis, and full scale mitigation plans overseen by certified radon experts, licensed professional engineers, and licensed general contractors to ensure the radon levels in your property are at healthy levels.

Per the Florida Department of Health: Radon Testing is required for State licensed, regulated, owned or operated Facilities. This requirement is the same for all buildings in facilities required to be tested for radon per Florida Statue 404.056. Currently all buildings in a facility that are used by the clients of the facility are required to be tested twice, five years apart. Once tested twice, testing is no longer required unless one of the triggering events occurs:
1) a building is subject to significant structural renovation or a change in facility operation equivalent to a building structural change, or
2) the facility legally becomes a new facility. Examples of a legally new facility would be the issuance of a new license, or there could be a change in ownership or operator. If a facility operator failed to complete the required testing in any building by the time it was due, the testing should be completed as soon as is practical.
