Where to place the radon detector
Where to place the radon detector
To obtain accurate and reliable measurements, carefully follow the steps below to deploy the radon detector in the right location:
- Choosing the ideal location
Place the detector in a frequently used room, such as a bedroom or living room. Install it in the breathing air zone, at a height of between 0.8 m and 2 m from the floor , avoiding sticking it to the walls. Maintain a distance of at least 50 cm from the ceiling , 40 cm from interior walls , and 50 cm from exterior walls . - Stable positioning
Place the detector on a flat, stable surface, such as a table or dresser. Make sure it cannot be moved or knocked over during the measurement. - Avoid disruptions
Place the detector away from heat sources (such as radiators or fireplaces), electronic devices (TV, radio, router) or air vents or ventilation. This will prevent any external influences that could distort the measurements. - Maintaining the natural environment
Once the detector is positioned, do not change your lifestyle or the conditions in the room. Avoid moving the detector or frequently opening nearby windows during the test.
By following these recommendations, you will obtain reliable and representative results of the radon level in your home.
