   Radon detection devices are commercially available. Digital radon detectors provide ongoing measurements giving both daily, weekly, short-term and long-term average readouts via a digital display. Short-term radon test devices used for initial screening purposes are inexpensive, in some cases free.

   The likelihood of developing lung cancer increases by 10% with each additional 100 Bq/m 3 of indoor air. [72] Digital radon detector. Elevated radon levels have been measured in numerous areas in Germany, particularly in southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

   A typical radon test kit Fluctuation of ambient air radon concentration over one week, measured in a laboratory. The first step in mitigation is testing. No level of radiation is considered completely safe, but as it cannot be eliminated, governments around the world have set various action levels to provide guidance on when radon concentrations should be reduced.

   The average concentration of radon in the atmosphere is about 6 × 10 −20 atoms of radon for each molecule in the air, or about 150 atoms in each mL of air. [7] The entire radon activity of the Earth's atmosphere at any one time is due to some tens of grams of radon, constantly being replaced by decay of larger amounts of radium and uranium. [8]

7. Airborne particulate radioactivity monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_particulate...

   The particulate radioactive material might be natural, e.g., radon decay products ("progeny", e.g., 212 Pb), or manmade, usually fission or activation products (e.g., 137 Cs), or a combination of both. There are also "gas monitors" which pass the air through a sample chamber volume which is viewed continuously by a radiation detector.
