Measuring radon regularly is crucial to ensure that radon levels in a home or building remain below recommended reference values. Including radon measurement in regular building maintenance is a rational strategy to prevent problems.
Radon is a natural, radioactive gas where elevated concentrations can pose a serious health risk. In fact, radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking. It is estimated to cause 3 to 14 percent of all lung cancer cases in the world, depending on where you live and how much radon you are exposed to.
Radonova is pleased to announce the newest addition to our international team, Vanda Jakabova, who has a solid background in natural sciences, ionizing radiation, and radiation protection. We met with Vanda, who tells us a little about her background and why she chose to become part of Radonova.
What were you doing before you started at Radonova?
I studied natural sciences with a focus on ph
On May 14th, we opened our doors for visits at our new facility in Uppsala. The interest was fantastic, and we extend a big and warm thank you to everyone who contributed to a successful day!
When measuring and analyzing radon levels, it is important to use a dose conversion factor. This is a separate calculation that allows for an accurate estimation of the health risks associated with exposure to radon.
On May 13th, we invite our international customers to a dinner and a guided tour of Uppsala, the city where Radonova has its new headquarters. On May 14th, we welcome all visitors to an open house at our new facility that includes over 1600 square meters of offices, a production unit, and laboratory space.
With customers in over 80 countries, we are excited to invite our customers, suppliers, and partners to our new headquarters on May 13th and 14th located at Södra Depågatan 2 in Uppsala.
Radonova has started a new collaboration with RadonGeorgia for them to distribute Radonova's radon detectors and measuring instruments in Georgia. This will be the first company in Georgia engaged in providing radon measurements for businesses and the public.
Please join Radonova on Monday and Tuesday, May 13th and 14th for an open house at our new headquarters located at Södra Depågatan 2 in Uppsala. This new facility consists of a production unit, a laboratory, and corporate offices in a total area of over 1,600 square meters.
Radonova's growth and high demand for reliable radon measurements are now matched by the company's new facilities in Uppsala. Since the end of last year, Radonova has been working in customized facilities that house a production unit, offices, and a brand new laboratory, covering over 1,600 square meters.
Radon can be measured throughout the year. However, to obtain an annual average value of radon levels in a home or workplace, it should be measured during what is called the “heating season” for at least two months.
Although radon gas itself does not make the house impossible to live in, high concentrations of radon in the house can pose a serious health risk to the inhabitants.
Radonova Laboratories, the world leader in radon measurement, has compiled the global trends in radon measurement and how they are expected to impact the work in the coming year.
At Radonova, we have added another exciting year to the books. Still, around the world the holiday season isn´t a peaceful break for everyone. To make a small contribution, Radonova has therefore chosen to support UNICEF's work.
In a comparison test conducted by the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP), the Radonova Laboratories radon detectors RadTrak3 and Rapidos received the highest performance grade of an “A”. The test was carried out to provide Canadian consumers with an unbiased, performance-based comparison of alpha track radon detectors commonly used in Canada.
Uppsala-based Radonova has been commissioned to manufacture a new highly sensitive radon instrument. The instrument, ARMON, was developed by the Technical University of Barcelona (UPC) and will be manufactured under license.
Radonova's North American company HomeBuyer's Preferred has recently been awarded the "2023 Service Exceeding Expectations Award" by NEI Global Relocation.
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."
