Radonova's high-tech instrument ARMON has generated interest in the scientific community. The instrument, which was developed to measure radon in the atmosphere, will ultimately help researchers to better understand climate change. At the ICOS Science Conference in Paris, Radonova's José-Luis Gutiérrez Villanueva and Zuzanna Podgorska demonstrated how the instrument can be used.
Radon is a natural, radioactive gas where elevated concentrations can pose a serious health risk. In fact, radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking. It is estimated to cause 3 to 14 percent of all lung cancer cases in the world, depending on where you live and how much radon you are exposed to.
Radon can be measured 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 (winter months). This enables employers, schools, property owners, condominium associations and homeowners to get a full overview of the radon within their homes and buildings.
Radonova's participation in international conferences continues. From August 27 to 28, José-Luis Gutiérrez Villanueva will be in Calgary to give a presentation on real-time radon testing using digital instruments. The conference, titled "Radiation and Air Pollutant Disease (RAPID) Prevention and Early Detection," is one of this year's most important events for international radon experts.
Radonova is pleased to announce the newest addition to our international team, Vanda Jakabova, who has a solid background in natural sciences, ionizing radiation, and radiation protection. We met with Vanda, who tells us a little about her background and why she chose to become part of Radonova.

On May 14th, we opened our doors for visits at our new facility in Uppsala. The interest was fantastic, and we extend a big and warm thank you to everyone who contributed to a successful day!
When measuring and analyzing radon levels, it is important to use a dose conversion factor. This is a separate calculation that allows for an accurate estimation of the health risks associated with exposure to radon.
On May 13th, we invite our international customers to a dinner and a guided tour of Uppsala, the city where Radonova has its new headquarters. On May 14th, we welcome all visitors to an open house at our new facility that includes over 1600 square meters of offices, a production unit, and laboratory space.
With customers in over 80 countries, we are excited to invite our customers, suppliers, and partners to our new headquarters on May 13th and 14th located at Södra Depågatan 2 in Uppsala.
Radonova has started a new collaboration with RadonGeorgia for them to distribute Radonova's radon detectors and measuring instruments in Georgia. This will be the first company in Georgia engaged in providing radon measurements for businesses and the public.
Please join Radonova on Monday and Tuesday, May 13th and 14th for an open house at our new headquarters located at Södra Depågatan 2 in Uppsala. This new facility consists of a production unit, a laboratory, and corporate offices in a total area of over 1,600 square meters.
Radonova's growth and high demand for reliable radon measurements are now matched by the company's new facilities in Uppsala. Since the end of last year, Radonova has been working in customized facilities that house a production unit, offices, and a brand new laboratory, covering over 1,600 square meters.
