Liberec Region, Czech Republic
Geological Context
Location and surrounding area
Estimated radon potential
HighEstimate based on the bedrock under the city (Global Lithological Map): granite-type and acid volcanic rocks carry more uranium. It is not an official classification. Only a measurement gives the radon level of a building.
What the regulations require
Dwellings
Reference level of 300 Bq/m³ as per EU Directive 2013/59/Euratom. Czech Republic has extensive radon research programs.
Workplaces
Workplaces must not exceed 300 Bq/m³. Czech Republic has long-standing workplace radon monitoring.
Public buildings & schools
Public buildings, especially schools, must comply with 300 Bq/m³ reference level.
New construction
Building code requires radon prevention in new buildings. Czech Republic has detailed radon index mapping.

FAQ
What does the radon potential classification mean?▾
The radon potential indicates the likelihood that buildings in this area will have elevated radon levels, based on geological and measurement data from official authorities. It does not predict the level in any individual building.
Is measurement mandatory here?▾
It depends on the national regulations and the type of building. In priority action zones, measurement is often mandatory for workplaces and public buildings. For dwellings, measurement is generally recommended. Check the obligations section above for details specific to this country.
What should I do if the level is above the reference level?▾
If your long-term measurement exceeds the national reference level, mitigation measures such as sub-slab depressurization, sealing or improved ventilation can reduce radon levels significantly. Contact a qualified radon professional.
