Around this lab: Honolulu County, HI
- Private wells: about 0 people, 0% of Honolulu County’s 998,714 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 4 of 5 counties in Hawaii by people on wells.
- EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 3: low potential (average indoor radon may be less than 2 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
- Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 57% of 374,304 housing units were built before 1980, above the state share of 50%. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead solder or fittings, so test tap water for lead there.
- PFAS in public water nearby (public supply, not your well): 20 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 0 had a PFOA or PFOS sample at or above 4.0 ng/L.
County figures describe where the lab is, not the lab. Sources: USGS 2015 water use and 2017 arsenic estimates, EPA radon zones, Census ACS table B25034 (2020–2024), EPA UCMR 5 (2023–2026); details and links on the sources page.
