Tipper on radon in Hawaii

The CDC doesn't have enough statewide testing data to calculate a reliable average for Hawaii. That doesn't mean radon isn't a concern here. It means individual county data, where available, is your best guide. Use the county list below to find the most specific data for where you live.

Looking at the zone breakdown: none of Hawaii's counties are in the high-risk Zone 1 category, and 5 are Zone 3 (low). Use the county list below to find your area and see the most specific data available.

Tipper's recommendation for Hawaii residents: if you haven't tested your home, start there. A short-term test kit costs around $15 and gives you a result in 48 hours. If your home tests at or above 4 pCi/L, a professional mitigation system (typically $800–$2,000 depending on your foundation and home size) will reliably bring levels down.

Why Hawaii's Geology Matters

Hawaii has the lowest radon risk in the nation. The volcanic basalt that forms the islands contains very little uranium compared to continental rock types. The porous nature of young volcanic rock and the trade wind ventilation further reduce indoor radon accumulation.

Radon Disclosure Laws

Hawaii does not have a radon-specific disclosure requirement, consistent with the state's minimal radon risk.
