Network meeting works to raise awareness about the radon issue in Austria
On October 3rd and 4th, Salzburg hosted the third annual "Treffen des Radon-Netzwerks Österreich."

New data shows that you should measure radon on the ground floor of apartment buildings, regardless of the type of building foundation. Radonova Laboratories draws that conclusion after analysing the results of roughly 20,000 radon measurements of Swedish apartments.
You can measure radon year-round, but if you want a good estimation of an annual average value for the radon level in your home or workplace, then you should measure during at least three of the heating season months.
When the SPIRIT radon detector was launched just over a year ago, it created new opportunities to make follow-up radon measurements at workplaces. SPIRIT has also provided better conditions for optimizing ventilation and reduce energy consumption in workplaces.
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.
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.
