On-Site Determination of the Radon Concentration in Water: Sampling & On-Line Methods

25 Jul 2019

Radon can dissolve and build up in water from underground sources. Radon in water can escape into the air during household water use, especially when heated. This whitepaper discusses the characteristics of radon in water and its associated health risks, how it can be monitored and also why measurement is important before and after building.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.ScintillationScintillation is an analytical technique used to measure the ionizing radiation of an analyte. At the core of a scintillation counter is a sensor and detector, where the sensor is typically a scintillator crystal. Scintillation also includes liquid scintillation, radiometers and particle counters. Key features of scintillator counters include high resolution, automated multi-detection and high counting efficiency.Gas AnalysisGas analysis is used to measure the composition of gases in various environments, such as industrial processes, air quality monitoring, and environmental studies. Techniques like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are commonly used. Explore gas analysis tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Environmental AnalysisEnvironmental analysis describes a variety of tests that determine the effect of chemicals, processes and particulates such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have on the environment.
