In today’s world, maintaining optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial, especially in sensitive environments like schools, hospitals, and office buildings. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, presents a significant health risk, particularly when it accumulates indoors.
Why Continuous Monitoring Matters
Traditional radon testing typically provides a one-time snapshot by measuring radon concentration over an extended period—sometimes days or even months. But how reliable are these measurements in accounting for elevated radon levels during periods of reduced ventilation, such as at night or during holidays?
In high-traffic buildings like schools and hospitals, radon levels can fluctuate due to factors such as changes in ventilation, structural modifications, or seasonal variations. Continuous monitoring ensures that any rise in radon levels is detected promptly, allowing for timely interventions to prevent prolonged exposure.
Ventilate When Needed
With real-time data, building managers—and even occupants—can take immediate action to reduce radon concentrations by ventilating rooms. The wireless nature of the sensor makes it easy to move between rooms, enabling monitoring across multiple areas within the building. This flexibility ensures that radon levels can be tracked not just in one location, but throughout the entire space.
One of the standout features of the Radon Plus Pro is its seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS). By becoming an integral part of a building’s automated control system, the Radon Plus Pro sensor facilitates easy data sharing and control. Facility managers can remotely monitor radon levels, receive automatic alerts when concentrations rise, and even trigger ventilation or mitigation systems when necessary—all from a central BMS.
Track Radon Mitigation Progress
The Radon Plus Pro also helps to determine whether radon mitigation is required within a building. After mitigation activities, the sensor allows for effective post-mitigation monitoring by comparing data before and after. The sensor’s fast measurement capabilities make it ideal for assessing a variety of radon scenarios in real time. The World Health Organization Handbook “WHO on Indoor Radon: A Public Health Perspective” provides global guidelines for radon concentrations in buildings and recommends mitigation strategies.
With Aranet Radon Plus achieve accurate measurements in as little as one hour, with the first reading available in just 10 minutes. Long-term monitoring is made simple with time-averaging options for 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day periods, allowing for consistent tracking of radon concentration over time. As always, users can track radon measurements through the Aranet Cloud dashboard. Additionally, the system can send notifications whenever radon levels remain elevated for an extended period.
About Radon Plus Pro
The Radon Plus Pro sensor is a fast, battery-operated device designed for continuous radon monitoring. It ensures that building operators, facility managers, and occupants stay informed about the radon levels in their spaces at all times.
