Radon Mitigation in Hazleton
High radon risk driven by the Southern Anthracite Basin's fractured Pennsylvanian coal measures and underlying Mississippian limestone. Hazleton sits at the southern rim of the Wyoming Valley coal field where uranium-bearing shale and abandoned deep mine workings create concentrated radon migration pathways.
