@strahlenschutz : wieso ist #Radon eigtl. nicht auf eurem Motivationsbildchen? :das nächstgrößere #Lungenkrebs|risiko nach TabakRauchen? - und fast überall aus dem Boden in die zunehmend oben-dichteren Häuser quellend und sich ansammelnd?

Tomorrow is #Radon remediation day #HappyDance

Interestingly – and given my increasing and yet still rather limited sample size – it seems radon levels are higher during rain.

(I got a real-time radon sensor a little while back to see what the levels are like in our 70-year-old rental house. Spoiler: they’re not great but they’re within Irish safety limits. Not that there’s any safe level of radon, from what I’ve read.)

Friends: Why so depressed? Typical, real headline: "Florida Bill Allowing Radioactive Roads Made of Potentially Cancer-Causing Mining Waste Signed by DeSantis"

Kaijune 2023 #3: Rodan.
First time drawing Rodan. First time drawing most of these creatures, really. Not particularly happy with how he turned out. Texture's all wrong.
#kaijune2023 #kaijune #kaiju #rodan #radon

apparently the mechanism was that the α radiation lowers the #dielectric breakdown of the combustion mixture. #radon did the same thing to the air in Marie Curie's lab

Did you know lung #cancer caused by #Radon exposure kills twice as many people in #Ireland than road accidents every year?

(I didn’t until I stumbled onto it this week.)

Anyway, so I got one of these little Ecoblu sensors that gives real-time readings and the levels were fine in the bedroom on Tuesday until we got woken up at 4AM with an alarm when it exceeded 200 becquerels (Bq/m³). Cracked open a window last night and levels were ok this morning.

#Rain test for #radon washout. Unfortunately it is inconclusive. There will likely be more rain so I will try again 🙂 #radioactivity

Airthings sensors are almost literally lifesavers.

Discovered that having the door closed in the bedroom was likely restricting airflow. Saw this occurring consistently at night due to a Wave Mini.

High VOCs may cause unfavorable symptoms like headaches, so glad to have figured it out and will never live somewhere without VOC and radon sensors again.

So after using my new #Airthings Wave #radon detector for over four weeks now, I'm convinced that this product is complete snakeoil. If anyone is thinking of buying one of these expensive devices, don't! Save your money. I wrote an #Amazon review to help people not be ripped-off.

Samma sak i Bad Gastein, dit många svenskar åker.

Jag har tagit med källvatten därifrån och gjort mätningar. Ja, det är radioaktivt.

Människor som jobbar i dessa kurbad blir nog exponerade för rätt mycket #radon.

ich gebe zu mit Radfahren zu Vaters Zeiten hat das nicht mehr viel gemein, ist aber geil 🤘😎
