The presence of radon in buildings and workplaces has garnered public and regulatory attention for many years, given the associated risks. For many years Eurofins Environment Testing has been a highly acclaimed service provider of radon-related services.

Services include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Short- and long-term measurements of radon and radon progeny, and/or the potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC)
  • Use of passive radon detectors from officially recognised manufacturers (e.g., ALTRAC) for long-term measurement 
  • Use of active radon monitors for time-resolved radon measurements (Radon Scout, AlphaGuard, etc.)
  • Time-resolved and correlated measurements in multiple rooms to determine the dynamics and convective flow patterns of radon and radon intrusion pathways
  • Assessment of the soil’s radon potential prior to new-build construction, together with radon measurements during and after construction, using appropriate systems such as the Czech soil probe or Bonn soil probe, including determination of radon activity concentration in soil air and soil air permeability
  • Testing the radon tightness (via the radon diffusion coefficient) of building materials such as sealing liners, floor coatings, collars etc. using a double-chamber method according to DIN ISO 11665-13
  • Determination of the radon exhalation rate of materials (Bq/m2 s), especially exhalation of radon from building materials
  • Blower Door Tests equivalent to DIN ISO EN 13829
  • Consulting and independent advice on radon and related mitigation measures for public and private buildings
  • Planning and implementation of radon monitoring programmes, modelling of radon exhalation and transport, and conceptual development of radon mitigation measures
