Underground fuel tanks
EPA's UST Finder records 281 tank facilities in Houston: 400 tanks in service and 475 closed. 144 fuel releases are on record, of which 6 remain open. Open releases are cleanups that have not reached "no further action".
Radon
EPA maps Houston as Zone 3, the lowest predicted indoor radon (under 2 pCi/L average). Radon and air quality are covered in depth on lung.com.
The record for one specific address
County figures blur what matters: distance. The Address Environmental Report runs these same federal datasets against one address and reports every site, tank, polluter and water result around it, with distances, in about a minute.
