Radonova Laboratories has achieved excellent results in the comparative EU test “REM 2018”. The test measures the incidence of radon in water and compares participating laboratories’ analytical results with a reference value. Radonova’s analysis had an average deviation of 3.8 per cent in relation to the reference value. Deviations up to 15 per cent are judged to be an acceptable…
