Radon Testing Equipment

Radonova’s radon detectors are rugged and portable. The radon detector heads are self contained units, with built in battery power supplies to ensure reliability even where there is no electrical supply available. The integral luminescence display ensures ease of operation even in low light conditions.

For radon professionals who want only the very best radon measurement equipment available on the market today, there is no equal to a Radonova radon measurement and evacuation instrument and their range of advanced features and capabilities.

Special equipment is needed to detect radon. There are two types of devices- passive ones such as charcoal canisters; alpha track detectors; liquid scintillation chambers -and long term vs short term static electricity generates when particles enter an ionizing field.

• DIY short term test kit such as Radonova’s Rapidos
• DIY long term test kit such as Radonova’s Radtrak³

In certain situations, a third-party test conducted by an impartial professional who has been trained and certified will provide you with more reliable data than your own home's measurements can offer alone!

The two types of tests exclusively available through certified professionals are the passive electret and active. The first test uses a Teflon disc that is statically charged as it absorbs radon decay ions; this reduction in charge can be measured by lab technicians with specialized equipment, usually at an office environment because there's no need for physical contact during measurement periods. Active testing requires electricity so users wear continuous monitoring devices - sometimes called " badges" or pendants – throughout their time within range Kavanaugh’s law leads to greater complications related health hazards such as lung cancer development due hazardous exposure.
