Radonova introduces individual date-marking for detectors used in radon monitoring

Together with the recently launched vacuum packaging, the unique date-mark ensures that the monitoring and analysis work can be carried out with the utmost reliability.

Tryggve Rönnqvist, technical manager at Radonova Laboratories, describes the benefits of date-marking the detectors:

“By date-marking each individual pack, we further increase the measurement certainty of short-term monitoring. If radon monitoring is carried out over seven to ten days after the detector has been stored for a year, this could have some effect on the result. Quite simply, it’s more difficult to measure lower concentrations reliably if the monitoring period is short and the storage time is long. Even though we’re talking about small deviations, we always strive to give our customers the most accurate monitoring results possible which is why we have updated the way we manage our inventory stock.”

Easier for stockists and customers with their own stock of detectors

“Above all, per device date-marking makes life easier for international stockists and customers who previously ordered date-marked boxes of radon detectors. Now they can quickly see how old each detector is and optimise their warehouse logistics accordingly. Real estate agents are another good example of businesses that benefit from clear date-marking. Monitoring is often fast and frequent in this segment and many agents, therefore, often have their own supply of detectors. By date-marking each device, we’ve made it easier to use the detectors in the right order.”

“Although our monitoring is already at the very forefront of reliability, clear date-marking of each detector and the newly introduced vacuum packaging helps us to offer even simpler, more reliable radon monitoring.”

The newly launched vacuum packaging provides a maximum storage time of eight months for short-term monitoring and three years for long-term monitoring.

Radonova also recommends beginning long-term monitoring within 18 months because the measurement uncertainty decreases the sooner monitoring begins.

    Radonova launches a new product for safe radon monitoring in soil

    Radonova Laboratories is launching a new detector that makes it safer and easier to monitor radon in soil. The new Ecotrak® detector can be used ahead of new builds and property modernisations and provides quick, reliable information on the amount of radon in the soil being tested. Unlike other commonly used soil detectors, Ecotrak® is covered by international comparative tests.

  • For radon monitoring it is crucial to be able to seal the detectors in such a way that the test results are reliable.

    Radonova launches brand-new vacuum packs for radon detectors

    Radonova Laboratories is launching a new vacuum packaging solution to allow the detectors used in radon monitoring to be vacuum-sealed with a new machine. This vacuum packaging helps to enhance quality still further and ensures that the monitoring and analysis work can be done without any previous leakage affecting the measurement results.

    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.

    A new study shows that different types of workplaces indicate minor differences in measured radon levels. When the world's largest radon laboratory Radonova carried out measurements at approximately 10,000 workplaces between 2018 and 2020, the variations between offices, industries, stores, and schools were inconsequential. The exception applies to underground workplaces, where radon levels, as ex
