Why you should measure radon at least every two to five years

Measuring radon regularly is crucial to ensure that radon levels in a home or building remain below recommended reference values. Radon is an invisible and odorless gas that forms when uranium breaks down in the soil and can enter buildings through cracks, foundations, and ventilation systems. Elevated radon levels can have serious health consequences, including an increased risk of lung…

Radonova at the IEA symposium in Orlando

In September, Radonova participated in the IEA (Indoor Environments Association, formerly AARST) symposium in Orlando. The event is the industry's leading forum for exchanging knowledge about indoor environments and the health risks posed by radon and vapor intrusion. The symposium presented new research and technologies to address these problems and improve air quality in buildings. One of Radonova's contributors to…

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…

Why Should Radon Be Measured During the Winter Half of the Year? MeasurementNews

Why Should Radon Be Measured During the Winter Half of the Year?

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…

Radonova receives top rating in Canadian comparison test

In a comparison test conducted by the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP), the Radonova Laboratories radon detectors RadTrak3 and Rapidos received the highest performance grade of an “A”. The test was carried out to provide Canadian consumers with an unbiased, performance-based comparison of alpha track radon detectors commonly used in Canada. The tests were performed at the Radiation Safety…

Accreditation High on the Agenda at GARRM Measurement

Accreditation High on the Agenda at GARRM

Radonova recently participated in the 16th edition of GARRM, an international workshop held in Prague that focuses on the geological aspects of radon risk maps. This year, Radonova delivered a presentation on the topic of accreditation and an informative lecture on "radon action plans" in Europe. Among those present were Radonova's José-Luis Gutierrez Villanueva and Zuzanna Podgorska. Zuzanna Podgorska gave…

The measuring season begins – find out the radon level in homes and workplaces

You can measure radon 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. Through a largely digitized process, it is now easy to carry out a radon measurement in homes and workplaces. From calculating…

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

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…

Three important events in the history of radon Measurement

Three important events in the history of radon

The issue of radon exposure is a current health concern. Yet, the history of radon provides a broad retrospective of how this gas became recognized as a health hazard.  Below are three historical events that contributed to research and awareness about the health-threatening effects of elevated radon levels. Discovery of X-rays At the turn of the 20th century, several important…
