The measuring season begins – now is the time to find out the radon level in homes and workplaces

Radon can be measured year-round, but if you want a good estimation of an annual average value for the radon level in your home or workplace, then you should measure during at least three of the heating season months (winter months). This enables employers, schools, property owners, condominium associations and homeowners to get a full overview of the radon within…

Radon can be measured throughout the year. However, to obtain an annual average value of radon levels in a home or workplace, it should be measured during what is called the “heating season” for at least two months. Other countries, such as Canada, recommend measuring for 91 days and longer. The timing of the heating season can vary slightly between…

Internship work contributes to new opportunities to measure very high radon levels with great precision

Radonova often gives students the opportunity to carry out various types of internship work on site in Uppsala, Sweden. As part of his degree in nuclear technology at the CNAM school in Paris, Thomas Gumusel spent two months studying at Radonova. The objective has been to improve the possibilities of obtaining more accurate values at very high radon levels. We…
