Radonova recently participated in the 16th edition of GARRM, an international workshop held in Prague that focuses on the geological aspects of radon risk maps. This year, Radonova delivered a presentation on the topic of accreditation and an informative lecture on "radon action plans" in Europe.
After 10 years, Radonova has outgrown its current office and manufacturing space and will be moving to a new facility by the end of 2023. The company's growth, coupled with the increased demand for reliable radon measurements, has warranted the need for relocation to larger premises.
On October 3rd and 4th, Salzburg hosted the third annual "Treffen des Radon-Netzwerks Österreich."
New data shows that you should measure radon on the ground floor of apartment buildings, regardless of the type of building foundation. Radonova Laboratories draws that conclusion after analysing the results of roughly 20,000 radon measurements of Swedish apartments.
You can measure radon year-round, but if you want a good estimation of an annual average value for the radon level in your home or workplace, then you should measure during at least three of the heating season months.
When the SPIRIT radon detector was launched just over a year ago, it created new opportunities to make follow-up radon measurements at workplaces. SPIRIT has also provided better conditions for optimizing ventilation and reduce energy consumption in workplaces.
With the radon sensor SPIRIT it is easy to monitor the radon levels in schools and other premises. By using a modern radon sensor, you can also ensure that the ventilation is not switched on unnecessarily. This enables facilities to save energy and accompanying costs.
Through a new agreement, Radonova becomes the Scandinavian distributor for the radon instrument RAD8. The instrument is specifically developed for measurement with a short response time in humid and challenging environments such as tunnels and mines. RAD8 is IP67 rated and weighs just over 3 kilograms, which is unique and considerably smaller than other common instruments.
Nowadays there are radon regulations all over the world that determine the parameter called radon concentration. Of all the radon measurement techniques, radon detectors based on CR39 plastic chips are the most widely used radon detection techniques throughout the world.
We thank all customers and partners for the past year, and the 22/23 radon season!
Bringing together leading experts, researchers, and organizations in the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) conference is a one of the most important events regarding dosimetry of ionising radiation in Europe.
Radonova often gives students the opportunity to carry out various types of internship work on site in Uppsala, Sweden. As part of his degree in nuclear technology at the CNAM school in Paris, Thomas Gumusel spent two months studying at Radonova.
Throughout the year, Radonova participates in several international conferences and events where radon is at the top of the agenda. In April, our development engineer Patrik Starck had the opportunity to present Radonova's studies about follow-up workplace measurements at CARST 2023 (Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists).
Since the radon logger SPIRIT was launched just over a year ago, several of Sweden's radon consultants have started using the instrument when measuring both in schools and at other workplaces. Among these is Elias Flink at SoVent Group. We have met Elias, who tells us how SPIRIT makes a difference and simplifies the work with radon measurement in a school environment.
In mid-March, Radonova had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Aaron Goodarzi to the Swedish Radon Day and our facilities in Uppsala, Sweden. Dr. Goodarzi is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary in Canada and Lead of Science Communication and Outreach at the Annie Charbonneau Cancer Institute. He has led several of the world's largest and most comprehensive studies in the field of radon.
The issue of radon exposure is a current health concern. Yet, the history of radon provides a broad retrospective of how this gas became recognized as a health hazard. Below are three historical events that contributed to research and awareness about the health-threatening effects of elevated radon levels.
Radonova has received the Finnish Radiation Safety Authority STUK's approval of the SPIRIT radon sensor for use in radon measurement.
Two important radon events will take place in the UK in March: the IRMA and the UK Radon Association Symposium. Save the dates: 22nd and 23rd of March.
In recent years, Radonova has developed and launched several advanced radon instruments. Among these are two radon sensors: SPIRIT and ROBIN. These instruments are quite different in terms of features and uses.
