Radonova Laboratories has recruited Jens Jensen, an experienced physicist and radon expert with a background at the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and several universities in Sweden and abroad. With his expertise in measurement technology, quality assurance, and research, Jens will help further strengthen Radonova’s global offering in radon measurement and analysis.
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 naturally occurring radioactive gas that can pose health risks if it accumulates in high concentrations indoors. However, addressing elevated radon levels is rarely expensive or complicated. With the right methods and tools, both homeowners and property managers can implement measures that are effective and affordable.
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is neither visible nor has any odor. This characteristic makes it impossible to detect without specific tools. Despite its natural origin, radon poses a significant health risk to humans. But what exactly is radon, why is it dangerous, and how can we reduce the associated risks? Here, we explore the issue and its impact on our health.
Radon is a radioactive gas that is invisible and odorless but can cause severe health issues, primarily lung cancer. This gas is naturally formed when uranium in the ground breaks down, and it is present in most countries and on all continents in varying concentrations. But where exactly is radon found, and how can you protect yourself?
Radon is an invisible and odorless gas that enters homes and workplaces without us noticing. Although it is naturally occurring, it can pose a serious health risk if people are exposed to elevated levels for a prolonged period. But what is radon, how dangerous is it, and what can be done to protect oneself? In this article, we will explore the impact of radon.
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.
Radon can be measured 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 (winter months). This enables employers, schools, property owners, condominium associations and homeowners to get a full overview of the radon within their homes and buildings.
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.
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.
