  • “It’s time the new Radiation Protection Act for workplaces is taken seriously”

    Sweden’s new Radiation Protection Act came into force on 1 June 2018. Now the country’s employers have to be aware of the radon levels in our workplaces. Employers also have to take action that may reasonably be required to tackle radon levels over the hygienic limit value of 200 Bq/m³. Johan Olsson of Radonova Laboratories describes his view of efforts to monitor radon in the workplace.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bill Rounds Promoted to President at Radonova Group

    Bill Rounds has been promoted from Vice President, Americas and Australia, to President within the parent Radonova Group AB, a global enterprise with offices and partnerships in numerous countries across the world.

  • Radonova joins metroRADON

  • Gammadata Acquisition Provides Radonova with a Complete Program for Radon Measurement

    By acquiring the radon measurement instrument division of Gammadata Instruments, Radonova Laboratories has further strengthened its position as a world leader in home and workplace radon measurement. Through the acquisition, Radonova has added several advanced instruments and products to its portfolio, broadening its range of radon measurement technologies.

  • Guide to radon monitoring in the workplace

    To make efficient use of time and arrive at a correct measurement, the person monitoring a workplace should make the following demands of the laboratory where the radon detectors were bought. This applies whether you do the job yourself or use an external consultant. Measurements should be taken with radon detectors from an accredited radon laboratory.

  • 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.

  • COIRA chooses radon detectors from Radonova for major international study

    Radonova Laboratories will be providing radon detectors to a major international study to be run by COIRA (the Coalition of International Radon Associations). The aim of the project is to compare radon measurement results obtained by the world’s leading monitoring institutions in the field of radiation protection. The project started in August 2018 and will run for two years.

  • 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.

  • Radonova’s measurement expert José-Luis Gutiérrez Villanueva attends IAEA meeting

    As part of the work of improving coordination and contributing to more uniform processes for analysing and measuring radon, the IAEA recently organised a workshop in Sarajevo. José-Luis Gutiérrez Villanueva from the Swedish company Radonova was present as a specialist in radon measurement. We put some questions to José-Luis, who is one of Europe’s leading experts in this field.
