What to do with what you found
Questions about this comparison
- Where does this comparison come from?
- The public record for each county: what the local water utilities reported, traffic emissions from the EPA National Emissions Inventory, the EPA’s radon prediction from the area’s geology, and the sites registered nearby.
- Why is there no overall score for each place?
- Because in a city it mostly measures how dense the place is. Traffic and registered sites run high in almost every metro, so a single number would rank nearly every city you would want to compare at the bottom. Each category is shown on its own instead.
- Does this tell me what is in my home’s water or air?
- No. It describes a county, not a house. The pipes between the treatment plant and one kitchen are not in any of it, and neither is the air inside a particular home. A home test measures what is actually there.
- Why do two cities show the same results?
- The record is kept by county, so two cities in the same county share it. The page says so when that happens.
