Radon
Distribution in Colorado Springs / El Paso County
Original data for this study were provided by the
Colorado Radon Measurements Laboratory in the Department
of Physics at UCCS. Although the data used to create these
maps came from specific points, all data has been averaged
across space in order to reflect patterns, and therefore is
not site specific. Please note the differing
spatial patterns that result from the various methods of interpolation.

Environmental
Justice is the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures,
incomes, and educational levels with respect to the development
and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
Fair treatment implies that no population should be forced
to shoulder a disproportionate share of exposure to the negative
effects of pollution due to lack of political or economic strength.
These map layers overlay demographic information and EPA "Superfund"
and toxic sites. Source data: US
