There are several occasions when a radon measurement in the home is particularly important. For example, it is especially important to test for radon when buying or selling a house, remodelling, changing the home ventilation, or when a radon measurement has not been carried out in the last 10 years.
With customers in over fifty countries, roughly four million manufactured radon detectors and a broad portfolio of instruments, a well-tuned and strong organization is required. As part their global growth, Radonova has increased its operations staff.
We would like to thank all customers and partners for a good collaboration in 2022! And thanks to all of you for many good suggestions, thoughts and ideas! They help us continue to develop and become even better. If we look around the world, it is also clear that the Christmas break is not for everyone. To make a small contribution, this year Radonova has chosen to support UNICEF's work.
The cost of radon measurement in the workplace usually lies in the amount of time it takes for deployment and collection of the radon detectors. Therefore, like in many other situations, it pays to do it correctly from the start. If not, hiring radon consultants for remeasurements can be costly.
During the past year, Radonova has broadened its product range for the consumer market, including the addition of the EcoQube, a digital radon instrument for continuous measurement of radon in houses and apartments. To continue development of the consumer market, Benjamin Portin has now joined Radonova.
Since the mid-2010s, many European countries have implemented the European Directive EURATOM 2013/59 which aims to strengthen, or even sometimes create, local and national regulation regarding radon.
As a world leader in radon measurements and technology, Radonova has monitored and acted on local and national radon trends, investing in local stakeholders so that they can meet the growing deman
During the last week of September 2022, several leading researchers, experts, authorities, and industry representatives gathered in Bergen, Norway, for European Radon Week. The European Radon Association (ERA) organized workshops and the recurring conference ROOMS (Radon Outcomes on Mitigation Solutions) was also an important part of the program. This year, the overarching theme was "radon prevent
Since the introduction of the 2013/59/Euratom directive, many countries in Europe have started strengthening their national radon regulation, specifically for workplaces and public buildings. For example, introducing lower reference and action levels as well as protocols to ensure good practice when it comes to measuring radon. In this regard, Sweden, with its long tradition of radon measurement,
When the analysis results of your radon measurement shows that the average concentration of one or more measurement points exceeds the reference threshold set by the regulations, it is necessary to take action to reduce radon levels below the threshold.
However, the radon concentration in the air is never constant. It evolves every minute. This is one of the reasons why it is recommended when p
Radonova – the global leader in radon measurement, has relocated from their Westmont, Illinois address to just 5 miles up the road to Lombard, Illinois as part of a long-term growth plan. The new facility more than doubles their capacity to sell and process radon tests and measurements in the United States and Canada.

In this article, we explain why it is important to choose the right radon sensor if you are looking to optimize ventilation in workplaces and schools. In properties with ventilation, radon levels can often vary and this is often dependent on whether the ventilation is running or not. Normally, radon levels are significantly lower when the ventilation is switched on. Depending on the design and eff
Over the next few months, Radonova will be represented at a number of key industry events as experts meet to discuss the latest trends and solutions in the field of radon. After months of in-person events not being permitted, the Summer of 2022 is shaping up to be an exciting time for the company with several key events taking place.
From 27-29 September in Bergen, Radonova will be participatin
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
May is always Radonova’s busiest period. This year, the world's leading radon laboratory broke records in the number of detectors processed. During a single week in May, Radonova handled approximately 34,000 received detectors. After a couple of years where the pandemic limited the ability to measure for radon, there is now great global demand for radon measurements.

A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that the air within your home and workplace can be more polluted than the outdoor air of the industrial cities.
Every May since 1972, the American Lung Association has sponsored Clean Air Month. This awareness month not only celebrates the achievements and advances in air quality since the passage of the Clean Air Act, but also educates people abo
Radon: a radioactive natural gas that pollutes indoor air
Radon is a colorless and odorless natural radioactive gas that comes from the ground and is present everywhere on the surface of the globe. It derives from the chain of radioactive decay of Uranium. As it is a gas it rises to the surface when it forms. Diluted outside, radon presents no risk. However, when it rises in poorly ventilated i
Radonova has added EcoQube, developed by Ecosense, Inc., to its world leading radon measurement product suite in the United States. EcoQube is an affordable measuring instrument for residential use to measure continuously fluctuating radon levels during the day or night. EcoQube provides customers with real-time insights into hourly fluctuations of radon levels. This is not possible with other co
In many countries across the world, authorities have designed a wide variety of national radon maps that are used to illustrate radon priority areas. A recent paper published by Eric Petermann, Peter Bossew, and Bernd Hoffmann from BfS, Germany, questions the effectiveness of radon maps and whether they are having the desired impact on the public.

Radonova has added EcoQube, developed by Ecosense Inc, to its world leading radon measurement product suite. EcoQube is an affordable measuring instrument for home and apartment owners who want to measure changeable radon levels during the day or night. EcoQube provides customers with real time insights into hourly fluctuations of radon levels. This is not possible with other consumer instruments,
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, repla
