Radon Mitigation in Sharon
Moderate radon risk from Appalachian Plateau sedimentary rocks modified by Wisconsinan glaciation. Sharon sits in the Shenango River valley where glacial till overlays Mississippian and Pennsylvanian shale and sandstone. The glacial deposit thickness varies significantly across the valley, creating localized zones of higher radon where till is thin over fractured bedrock. Mercer County's steel-industry legacy means extensive older housing stock with substandard foundations.
