  • Research Suggests Radon Testing Should Be Done Year-Round

    When spring arrives in the northern hemisphere, it traditionally means that radon testing season is coming to an end.
    But the research titled “Radon exposure is rising steadily within the modern North American residential environment and is increasingly uniform across seasons” published in the Nature’s Scientific Reports indicates that every season may be radon testing season. Their study sugge

  • Record breaking month for Radonova’s laboratory - 34,000 detectors analyzed in one week

    May is always Radonova’s busiest period. This year, the world's leading radon laboratory broke records in the number of detectors processed. During a single week in May, Radonova handled approximately 34,000 received detectors. After a couple of years where the pandemic limited the ability to measure for radon, there is now great global demand for radon measurements.

  • Test Your Air During Clean Air Month

    A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that the air within your home and workplace can be more polluted than the outdoor air of the industrial cities.
    Every May since 1972, the American Lung Association has sponsored Clean Air Month. This awareness month not only celebrates the achievements and advances in air quality since the passage of the Clean Air Act, but also educates people abo

  • Radon and ventilation: Robin, a radon sensor which controls ventilation

    Radon: a radioactive natural gas that pollutes indoor air
    Radon is a colorless and odorless natural radioactive gas that comes from the ground and is present everywhere on the surface of the globe. It derives from the chain of radioactive decay of Uranium. As it is a gas it rises to the surface when it forms. Diluted outside, radon presents no risk. However, when it rises in poorly ventilated i

  • How effective are radon maps and what do they represent?

    In many countries across the world, authorities have designed a wide variety of national radon maps that are used to illustrate radon priority areas. A recent paper published by Eric Petermann, Peter Bossew, and Bernd Hoffmann from BfS, Germany, questions the effectiveness of radon maps and whether they are having the desired impact on the public.
