ARMON attracts attention in the scientific community

Radonova's high-tech instrument ARMON has generated interest in the scientific community. The instrument, which was developed to measure radon in the atmosphere, will ultimately help researchers to better understand climate change. Measuring the radioactive radon gas content in the atmosphere provides an understanding of how greenhouse gases spread. At the ICOS Science Conference in Paris, Radonova's José-Luis Gutiérrez Villanueva and…

What is radon? About Radon

What is 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. Since…

The measuring season begins – now is the time to find out the radon level in homes and workplaces

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…

The dose conversion factor is important in radon measurement

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. Radon gas itself is not directly harmful, but its decay product, radon daughters, are radioactive and can get trapped in the lungs when inhaled. This…
