Radon releases radioactive particles, known as alpha radiation. This dangerous noble gas is the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking. It rises from the ground or subsoil, can even penetrate house walls and cannot be detected by the human senses. With the new air-Q radon, you can detect the radioactive gas in your home, building and workplace. The air-Q radon also has additional integrated sensors and functions as a smart air measuring device.

If a radon meter indicates high radon levels in your home, several measures can be taken to reduce the radon concentration. These include:
A radon sensor in the radon detector measures the radon concentration in the air by detecting the radioactive particles that decay from radon. These sensors detect the particles that could enter the lungs and calculate the radon concentration in your room. The results are shown on a display or can be monitored via an app to ensure radon levels remain safe.
Yes, you can measure radon yourself at home. There are various radon measuring devices designed for home use. These devices are relatively easy to use and can help you monitor radon levels in your home. It is important to set up the device according to the manufacturer's instructions and check it regularly to get accurate results. However, for comprehensive testing or where radon levels are high, it may be advisable to consult a professional for detailed analysis and advice.
Radon is an invisible, radioactive gas that results from the decay of uranium in the ground. It can enter buildings through cracks in foundations and walls. Long-term exposure to radon significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, as the radioactive particles produced when radon decays can damage lung tissue. A radon meter helps to monitor the concentration of this gas and ensure that it is below the recommended limits.
