Radon can be more common in Bath because of the area’s natural geology. Certain types of rock beneath the ground, including limestone and nearby granite, contain small amounts of uranium, which naturally breaks down and releases radon gas.

As part of the South West of England, Bath sits within one of the areas where these ground conditions can allow higher levels of radon to occur.

Since Bath is regarded as more of a hotspot for radon, testing is advised. Although many homes and businesses won’t be affected, a passive or professional radon test is the only reliable way to understand whether you’re at risk or not.
