Measuring radon regularly is crucial to ensure that radon levels in a home or building remain below recommended reference values. Including radon measurement in regular building maintenance is a rational strategy to prevent problems.
Radon, the invisible and odorless gas naturally found in soil, has garnered increased attention in recent years due to its potentially serious health effects and the need for effective measurement and mitigation solutions. José-Luis Gutiérrez Villanueva, an expert at Radonova Laboratories, identifies three key trends expected to influence the field of radon in 2025.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can pose health risks if it accumulates in high concentrations indoors. However, addressing elevated radon levels is rarely expensive or complicated. With the right methods and tools, both homeowners and property managers can implement measures that are effective and affordable.
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is neither visible nor has any odor. This characteristic makes it impossible to detect without specific tools. Despite its natural origin, radon poses a significant health risk to humans. But what exactly is radon, why is it dangerous, and how can we reduce the associated risks? Here, we explore the issue and its impact on our health.
A multi-year study led by Dr. Aaron Goodarzi and the Evict Radon National team has unveiled the latest insights into radon exposure in residential buildings across Canada. Published in October 2024, this report, the most comprehensive Canadian radon survey in over a decade, sheds light on a public health issue with global implications.
Radon is a radioactive gas that is invisible and odorless but can cause severe health issues, primarily lung cancer. This gas is naturally formed when uranium in the ground breaks down, and it is present in most countries and on all continents in varying concentrations. But where exactly is radon found, and how can you protect yourself?
To address Radonova’s growth in the North American market, Benjamin Portin has been promoted to the Consumer Products Manager and relocated to Radonova’s Lombard, Illinois headquarters. In this position, he will manage the business-to-consumer market segments which have experienced increased demand from extensive radon awareness initiatives throughout the United States and Canada.
Radonova actively works to reduce the harmful effects of radon through international collaborations and research. A recent example is the company's participation in Spain’s national Radon R&D&I Workshop focused on radon research and development. The event, held November 11–13 at the Canfranc Laboratory in the Pyrenees, brought together researchers, organizations, and policymakers.
At Radonova, the door is always open to young and ambitious employees who want to grow in their professional role. The latest to join the team is Maroua Elazizi, who started her internship at Radonova's French operation in September. Maroua is studying for a Bachelor's degree in Digital Marketing and Customer Relations at Excelia in La Rochelle.
Cluster IAQ is a Spanish network that brings together companies and organizations to promote innovations and solutions in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The network combines expertise from different sectors to improve indoor air quality and reduce exposure to airborne pollutants. Radonova has now become the first radon measurement partner to join Cluster IAQ.
Radon is an invisible and odorless gas that enters homes and workplaces without us noticing. Although it is naturally occurring, it can pose a serious health risk if people are exposed to elevated levels for a prolonged period. But what is radon, how dangerous is it, and what can be done to protect oneself? In this article, we will explore the impact of radon.
In September, Radonova participated in the IEA (Indoor Environments Association, formerly AARST) symposium in Orlando. The event is the industry's leading forum for exchanging knowledge about indoor environments and the health risks posed by radon and vapor intrusion. The symposium presented new research and technologies to address these problems and improve air quality in buildings.
