Three trends that will shape the radon testing industry in 2024

 In recent years, significant progress and changes have occurred in the field of radon and radon measurement. This invisible, odorless, and naturally occurring gas has gained  attention due to its potential health risks. Radonova Laboratories, the world leader in radon measurement, has compiled the global trends in radon measurement and how they are expected to impact the work in the…

The right radon sensor can reduce the cost of ventilation by up to 50 percent Workplace

The right radon sensor can reduce the cost of ventilation by up to 50 percent

With the radon sensor SPIRIT it is easy to monitor the radon levels in schools and other premises. By using a modern radon sensor, you can also ensure that the ventilation is not switched on unnecessarily. This enables facilities to save energy and accompanying costs. Schools and workplaces with radon problems often use ventilation to reduce radon levels to acceptable…

Five common mistakes when measuring radon in workplaces Workplace

Five common mistakes when measuring radon in workplaces

The cost of radon measurement in the workplace usually lies in the amount of time it takes for deployment and collection of the radon detectors. Therefore, like in many other situations, it pays to do it correctly from the start. If not, hiring radon consultants for remeasurements can be costly. With experience from thousands of workplace measurements from many countries,…

Elevated radon levels can be found in all types of workplaces Workplace

Elevated radon levels can be found in all types of workplaces

A new study shows that different types of workplaces indicate minor differences in measured radon levels. When the world's largest radon laboratory Radonova carried out measurements at approximately 10,000 workplaces between 2018 and 2020, the variations between offices, industries, stores, and schools were inconsequential. The exception applies to underground workplaces, where radon levels, as expected, tend to be higher than…

When was radon gas discovered? Workplace

When was radon gas discovered?

To find out when radon gas was first discovered, we must go back to the 16th century when scientists started to study the reasons for diseases among miners in Saxony and Bohemia. Lung diseases were common among those miners, and it is clear that radon gas was responsible for the fatalities. At the end of the 19th century, a new…
