Wie kann ich die Radonkonzentration in meinem Haus senken?

If a radon meter indicates high radon levels in your home, several measures can be taken to reduce the radon concentration. These include: ● Ventilation: improving ventilation in your home to dilute radon. ● Radon barriers: Installing barriers to prevent radon from entering from the ground. ● Radon extraction systems: installing a radon extraction system that extracts radon from the soil under your home before it can enter the building. A radon remediation specialist can advise you on the best solutions for your specific situation.

The new air-Q radon - high-precision air analyzer

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.

How air quality affects concentration

When the elements uranium and thorium, which occur naturally in rocks and soil materials, decay, radon escapes. The particularly small, unbound particles easily reach the earth's surface and can penetrate into the building through even the smallest gaps or cracks in the concrete. While the radioactive gas dilutes with the fresh air outdoors to a harmless concentration, the particles can accumulate indoors to a level that is hazardous to health. As radon is colorless, odorless and tasteless, it cannot be perceived by the human senses. A measuring device is required to detect the noble gas.

With the air-Q radon, you can measure the radon exposure at your workplace over a longer period of time. This allows you to check whether required limit values are being adhered to or to initiate appropriate measures if radon levels are too high. At the same time, you control the air quality and support the concentration and performance of your employees and colleagues. The air-Q blends completely unobtrusively into the room.

More than just measuring radon - up to 10 other measured variables included

In addition to radon exposure, the air-Q rad on also monitors other air components such as volatile organic compounds (VOC), humidity and temperature - optionally also carbon dioxide and various particulates values with our particulates special sensor. The air-Q radon is also equipped with our intuitive LED display, which enables various themes to be displayed. So you can easily keep an eye on the air quality.

General questions

• How can I reduce the radon concentration in my home?

keyboard_arrow_down

If a radon meter indicates high radon levels in your home, several measures can be taken to reduce the radon concentration. These include:

Ventilation: Improve ventilation in your home to dilute radon.
Radon barriers: Installation of barriers to prevent the penetration of radon from the ground.
Radon extraction systems: Installation of a radon extraction system that extracts radon from the ground beneath your home before it can enter the building. A radon remediation specialist can advise you on the best solutions for your specific situation.

• How does a radon sensor work?

keyboard_arrow_down

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.

• Can I measure radon myself at home?

keyboard_arrow_down

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.

• What is radon and why is it dangerous?

keyboard_arrow_down

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.

What is radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the decay of uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odorless and tasteless, which makes it particularly dangerous as it cannot be detected without special equipment. Radon can enter buildings through cracks in the floor, walls or leaks and accumulate indoors.

‍Effects ofradon on health
Long-term exposure to radon can have serious health consequences. Radon decays into other radioactive particles that float in the air and enter the lungs when inhaled. These particles can damage lung tissue and significantly increase the risk of lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking.

Why is a radon meter important?

A radon detector helps to monitor the radon concentration in your indoor spaces and ensure that the levels are below the recommended limits. A radon detector enables you to detect radon contamination at an early stage and take appropriate measures to reduce it.

Advantages of a radon monitor

A radon monitor provides you with precise measurements and continuous monitoring of radon concentrations. Regular use of an indoor radon monitor protects your family and employees from the potential dangers of radon. Especially in regions with a high radon risk, a radon gas monitor is essential.

How does a radon sensor work?

The radon sensor in a radon measuring device records the radon concentration in the air and shows it on a display. Modern devices also offer additional functions such as radon test kits, which enable a quick check. Some radon monitoring devices even offer the option of monitoring the data via an app.

Measure radon at home: Prevention is the key

Regular measurement of radon in your home is crucial for your health. A radon meter helps you to detect and prevent dangerous concentrations at an early stage. By taking preventative measures, you can reduce the risk of lung cancer and ensure that your living space remains healthy.

How do you choose the right radon measuring device?

When selecting a radon measurement system, you should pay attention to the accuracy and additional functions of the device. A radon testing device should measure reliably and be easy to use. Also check whether the device requires regular calibrations and which radon safety devices are recommended in your region.
