All devices listed must also have an
approved Analytical Laboratory to ensure that these are used following part of
a proper Quality Assurance Program.
If you are a C-NRPP Radon Measurement
Professional who provides services for deployment & collection of devices
without providing the analysis, contact a certified Analytical Laboratory.
Measurement
duration
Long-Term Radon Test – is a radon
test which is of duration of 91 days or longer
- Typical devices for Long-Term Radon Test are
alpha track and electret ion (confirm with the manufacture of each device
or the Device Listing Below)
Short-Term Radon Test –is a radon
test which is of duration of at least 48 hours but less than 3 months
- Typical devices for short term radon tests are
continuous radon monitors (CRM), Electret Ion (ES), or alpha track
(confirm with the manufacture of each device recommended duration)
*Device Types:
AT – Alpha track detectors use
a small piece of special plastic or film inside a container to provide an
average of radon levels over the full duration of the testing period. The
package is opened to start the test and when the test is completed it is sent
to the laboratory for analysis. The radon exposure duration can be from 10 days
to 12 months. Verify with the manufacturer the suggested duration for
each device.
CR – Continuous Radon Monitor record
real-time continuous measurements of radon gas over a series of minutes and
reports the results, generally in hourly increments. These devices will have
methods for storing, displaying, and retrieving the data logged by the device
and may also have the ability to measure and track additional environmental
parameters above and beyond the radon concentration such as temperature,
barometric pressure, and relative humidity, and they often have onboard motion
sensors. These devices need to be annually calibrated by the
manufacturer.
EL or ES– Electret Ion
Chambers consists of a special plastic canister (ion chamber) containing
an electrostatically charged disk detector (electret). This type of detector
may be deployed for 48 hrs to 12 months EL for long term configuration, ES for
short term configuration.
Note: C-NRPP
strongly recommends that a decision for mitigation be based on a long-term test
as per Health Canada guidance. C-NRPP acknowledges that Short-Term
Testing has a place in post-mitigation confirmation, real estate and when a
more rapid indication of the radon concentration may be required. All short-term
tests should be confirmed with a follow-up long-term test to have an accurate
representation of the average annual long-term exposure & before a decision
for mitigation is taken.
