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. Including radon measurement in regular building maintenance is a rational strategy to prevent problems.

Radon: Three Trends Shaping 2025

Radon: Three Trends Shaping 2025

Radon, the invisible and odorless gas naturally found in soil, has garnered increased attention in recent years due to its potentially serious health effects and the need for effective measurement and mitigation solutions. José-Luis Gutiérrez Villanueva, an expert at Radonova Laboratories, identifies three key trends expected to influence the field of radon in 2025.

Radon Safety Is Rarely Expensive or Complicated

Radon Safety Is Rarely Expensive or Complicated

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can pose health risks if it accumulates in high concentrations indoors. However, addressing elevated radon levels is rarely expensive or complicated. With the right methods and tools, both homeowners and property managers can implement measures that are effective and affordable.

How is Radon a Danger to Human Health?

How is Radon a Danger to Human Health?

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is neither visible nor has any odor. This characteristic makes it impossible to detect without specific tools. Despite its natural origin, radon poses a significant health risk to humans. But what exactly is radon, why is it dangerous, and how can we reduce the associated risks? Here, we explore the issue and its impact on our health.

Canadian Radon Report Highlights Radon as a Critical Public Health Issue

A multi-year study led by Dr. Aaron Goodarzi and the Evict Radon National team has unveiled the latest insights into radon exposure in residential buildings across Canada. Published in October 2024, this report, the most comprehensive Canadian radon survey in over a decade, sheds light on a public health issue with global implications.

Where is Radon Found?

Where is Radon Found?

Radon is a radioactive gas that is invisible and odorless but can cause severe health issues, primarily lung cancer. This gas is naturally formed when uranium in the ground breaks down, and it is present in most countries and on all continents in varying concentrations. But where exactly is radon found, and how can you protect yourself?

Radon Action Month in coming to an end

💡If you did not know, the EPA has named January National Radon Action Month with support from the US Surgeon General.

☢️ Radon is a colorless and odorless radioactive gas that occurs from the naturally occurring breakdown of radium and uranium in our soil. It becomes trapped in harmful amounts inside our living and working structures. 

The only way to know the amount of radon gas in your home, school, or workplace is to test.

Radonova strengthens its presence in France with an office in La Rochelle! 🇫🇷

🤝 In recent years, the demand for reliable radon measurements has been high in France. Tougher legal requirements and a relatively neglected market have meant that Radonova has had the opportunity to build a network of local partners who need to meet the increased need for radon measurements. 

🏢 To take the next step and strengthen its presence further, Radonova has now opened an office in La Rochelle. Responsible for the office will be Thomas Chauvin, who has previously been responsible for Radonova's operations in France.

On October 1st, the season for radon measurement begins in Sweden!

🍂 It is indeed possible to measure the radon level throughout the year if you want an annual average value (which in most cases is a requirement) for your home or workplace, you must measure radon during the so-called heating season for at least two months. In Sweden, it runs between October 1st and April 30th. 

💡 It is generally during the period that properties are heated and windows and doors are closed. It creates a negative pressure in the house, which causes the radon level to rise as air is sucked in from the ground under the floor. Under these conditions, you get a high quality of the measurements and comparable figures.
