Why test for uranium in Tennessee
Uranium comes from rock, mainly harms the kidneys, and often shows up first as a gross alpha radioactivity number. Read our uranium explainer.
About 594,482 people in Tennessee used private wells in 2015, by the USGS estimate of people on domestic self-supplied water. [1] Federal limits are written for public water systems, not private wells, so testing is up to the owner.
For tests that depend on your home (farms nearby, old plumbing, a new baby), use the which-tests checklist. When results arrive, check your numbers against EPA's limits. State guidance, county data and every lab: Tennessee.
