Straightforward instrument for measuring radon levels.
I live in a region of the country (Albuquerque, NM) where radon levels are naturally above the national recommended 4.00 pCu/L. This is a straightforward instrument to setup. As far as using it is quick to setup for measuring short and long term radon levels in an area - just use a paper click to press the reset button. So far in two 7-day reading periods, in different locations, the long term average went down each of the first 3 days. Then it started back up on the 4th day. I am fine with that but since the short term value went up on day 4 the long-term value really jumped higher than any ready during the test period. Thus, make sure to test for a full seven day period as fluctuations up and down can and do occur. The long term value did go back down during days 5 through 7. I am testing in my basement, each bedroom and my shed. Then I am going to ask my neighbor to do the same so I have a better feel for everything. I suggest searching online for knowledge of radon and how it may change depending on time of year. Plus look for a map for your region of the country.
