Radtrak³ now available in Canada and the United States

Radonova – the global leader in radon measurement – has brought the more accurate Radtrak³ alpha track radon detector to Canada and the United States. The Radtrak³ is significantly smaller, which simplifies both deployment and shipping. Plus, with its reusable plastic components, this new detector is the most sustainable in the world!

The Radtrak³ has officially launched in North America, replacing its predecessor, the Radtrak². The Radtrak² has been the gold standard for alpha track radon detection since its debut in 2014. Over four million units were sold across the globe during its life cycle. The Radtrak³ is now poised to replicate and surpass the legacy of the Radtrak².

The Radtrack³ is Radonova’s most sensitive alpha track detector to date. The new detector can detect levels of radon as low as 35 pCi*days/L to as high as 55,000 pCi*days/L. This wide range of sensitivity makes the new detector perfect for both dwelling and workplace measurements.

At only 17 mm tall, it is a significantly smaller detector. The reduced size of the Radtrak³ is due to innovations in analysis equipment and software. Alongside the introduction of Radtrak³, Radonova has also increased its production capacity, allowing for more detectors to be built and shipped in a fraction of the time it used to take.

“Deploying Radtrak³ makes it even easier to carry out a reliable radon measurement. Although a radon detector is relatively simple to construct, we always strive to improve our product design to enhance our solution portfolio. We work in a global marketplace and constantly listen to our customers' feedback and requirements. Radtrak³ is a natural successor to a radon detector that has so far been used by customers in over 50 countries,” comments Karl Nilsson, CEO of Radonova Laboratories.

The sleek compact design of Radtrak³ makes it easier to place the detector and allows it to more easily blend into the background of the testing location. It is also the most environmentally friendly radon detector on the market, with reusable plastic parts that will be put back into the assembly line and used again, instead of being thrown out.

The Radtrak³ is now available on Radonova.com for both consumer and commercial use.

Colorado Becomes the Latest State to Tackle the Radon Issue

Colorado has become the latest State to make progress on generating awareness around the detrimental health issues caused by exposure to radon. A bill has been recommended by the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) after a comprehensive review of instances of harm in the radon industry. The bill was approved 12-1 by the Colorado House Public & Behavioral Health and Human Services Committe

Research Suggests Radon Testing Should Be Done Year-Round

When spring arrives in the northern hemisphere, it traditionally means that radon testing season is coming to an end.
But the research titled “Radon exposure is rising steadily within the modern North American residential environment and is increasingly uniform across seasons” published in the Nature’s Scientific Reports indicates that every season may be radon testing season. Their study sugge

What type of units are used to measure radon gas?

It seems a simple question, but in reality the answer is not so straightforward. Firstly, we need to clarify exactly what we are talking about when it comes to radon gas. There are various aspects to radon: radon gas exposure, radon gas concentration in indoor air, radon gas concentration in soil, radon in water, radon exhalation, radon doses, etc. Depending on which aspect or level we need to mea

Why you should measure for radon levels

There is increasing global awareness of the detrimental health risks posed by radon exposure. Every day the issue gains more attention. New legislations are being introduced across the world to tackle the issue, and measuring instruments are being enhanced to attain better results. But the question remains, what is the best way of measuring radon levels in the home or at the workplace.

What are acceptable levels of radon gas exposure?

The effects of radon gas exposure on our health are well documented and have been proven to be life threatening. In fact, Radon gas exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Therefore, long-term exposure to the gas increases the probability of developing lung cancer.
Any exposure to radon gas provides a risk, even is that exposure is reasonably low. The key message is

New statistics show that all floors should be included in workplace radon measurements

Research measurement data of over 15,000 Swedish workplaces indicates that there can be unexpectedly high levels of radon, regardless of floor level or where you specifically measure. The findings confirm the importance of measuring sufficiently and not being satisfied with a small number of measuring points. An inadequate measurement can in the long run contribute to an unnecessary health hazard.
