Through a new agreement, Radonova becomes the Scandinavian distributor for the radon instrument RAD8. The instrument is specifically developed for measurement with a short response time in humid and challenging environments such as tunnels and mines. RAD8 is IP67 rated and weighs just over 3 kilograms, which is unique and considerably smaller than other common instruments.
Nowadays there are radon regulations all over the world that determine the parameter called radon concentration. Of all the radon measurement techniques, radon detectors based on CR39 plastic chips are the most widely used radon detection techniques throughout the world.
We thank all customers and partners for the past year, and the 22/23 radon season!
Bringing together leading experts, researchers, and organizations in the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) conference is a one of the most important events regarding dosimetry of ionising radiation in Europe.
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.
Throughout the year, Radonova participates in several international conferences and events where radon is at the top of the agenda. In April, our development engineer Patrik Starck had the opportunity to present Radonova's studies about follow-up workplace measurements at CARST 2023 (Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists).
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.
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.
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.
Radonova has received the Finnish Radiation Safety Authority STUK's approval of the SPIRIT radon sensor for use in radon measurement.
Two important radon events will take place in the UK in March: the IRMA and the UK Radon Association Symposium. Save the dates: 22nd and 23rd of March.
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.
