Radonova wishes everyone a really nice summer!
We thank all customers and partners for the past year, and the 22/23 radon season!
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.
SPIRIT makes radon measurement in schools easier for SoVent Group's radon consultants
Since the radon logger SPIRIT was launched just over a year ago, several of Sweden's radon consultants have started using the instrument when measuring both in schools and at other workplaces. Among these is Elias Flink at SoVent Group. We have met Elias, who tells us how SPIRIT makes a difference and simplifies the work with radon measurement in a school environment.
World-leading radon scientist visits Radonova – watch interview
In mid-March, Radonova had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Aaron Goodarzi to the Swedish Radon Day and our facilities in Uppsala, Sweden. Dr. Goodarzi is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary in Canada and Lead of Science Communication and Outreach at the Annie Charbonneau Cancer Institute. He has led several of the world's largest and most comprehensive studies in the field of radon.
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.
Radonloggers: SPIRIT vs ROBIN
In recent years, Radonova has developed and launched several advanced radon instruments. Among these are two radon sensors: SPIRIT and ROBIN. These instruments are quite different in terms of features and uses.
Five common mistakes to avoid when measuring radon in homes
There are several occasions when a radon measurement in the home is particularly important. For example, it is especially important to test for radon when buying or selling a house, remodelling, changing the home ventilation, or when a radon measurement has not been carried out in the last 10 years.
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.
A local and global approach – a strategy which strengthens Radonova’s reputation
Since the mid-2010s, many European countries have implemented the European Directive EURATOM 2013/59 which aims to strengthen, or even sometimes create, local and national regulation regarding radon.
As a world leader in radon measurements and technology, Radonova has monitored and acted on local and national radon trends, investing in local stakeholders so that they can meet the growing deman
European Radon Week highlights the importance of radon prevention measures
During the last week of September 2022, several leading researchers, experts, authorities, and industry representatives gathered in Bergen, Norway, for European Radon Week. The European Radon Association (ERA) organized workshops and the recurring conference ROOMS (Radon Outcomes on Mitigation Solutions) was also an important part of the program. This year, the overarching theme was "radon prevent
Requirement for follow-up radon measurement during working hours before mitigation
Since the introduction of the 2013/59/Euratom directive, many countries in Europe have started strengthening their national radon regulation, specifically for workplaces and public buildings. For example, introducing lower reference and action levels as well as protocols to ensure good practice when it comes to measuring radon. In this regard, Sweden, with its long tradition of radon measurement,
Using a detector to measure for radon continuously, what are the advantages?
When the analysis results of your radon measurement shows that the average concentration of one or more measurement points exceeds the reference threshold set by the regulations, it is necessary to take action to reduce radon levels below the threshold.
However, the radon concentration in the air is never constant. It evolves every minute. This is one of the reasons why it is recommended when p
