Radonova’s radon measurements get top marks from Europe’s leading radiation protection body

Radonova Laboratories has achieved excellent results in reference tests conducted by the German Federal Office For Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz - BfS). Comparative tests of four different radon samples show that Radonova’s results differed by less than ten per cent from the reference values in all cases.

The launch of the new application is intended to make it even easier to use Radonova’s services in the field of radon measurement and analysis of radon samples.

Global study confirms the harmful effects of radon

A study based on data from 66 countries and presented in Environmental Health Studies (EHP) confirms that there is a clear link between exposure to radon and the risk of lung cancer. Updated data from 2012 show that around 226,000 people died that year from radon-related lung cancer. That means that about three per cent of all those who die from some form of cancer do so because of radon.

Radon measurement season in full swing

You can actually measure radon all year round, but if you want an annual average for radon levels in your home or workplace, you have to measure them over the course of at least two months during the winter when heating systems are on. In Sweden this is between 1 October and 30 April. In practice, this means you have to start measuring radon levels by the end of February.

How many radon detectors are needed to measure a workplace?

Since the EU's new radiation protection directive (2013/59/Euratom) came into force in 2018, it is mandatory that employers should be aware of radon levels in the workplace. The new directive has entailed new national laws in member states, which has resulted in an increasing number of workplaces measuring radon levels.

It’s estimated that more than 200,000 people a year die as a result of radon-related lung cancer. "Obviously, it’s more enjoyable to go to work knowing that what we do helps to influence human health for the better.”

The ultimate guide for radon instruments

There are many different instruments to choose from nowadays. Prices for radon instruments vary widely, and they can cost from 300 € up to 15 000 €. Basically though, ‘you get what you pay for’. This means that there is no cheap, magical instrument that will work everywhere.
Major differences in capacity and function
Generally speaking, cheaper instruments have a smaller chamber and detector
