The next CAPTURE software update will be released in Q2. We are excited to include an innovative new feature called CAPTURE Cloud that will allow you to safely and securely save, share, and retrieve RAD7 data files anywhere in the world. Watch for the announcement!
Did You Know?
The RAD7 has been used for geological research, environmental contamination studies, industrial hygiene testing, and radon building inspections in innumerable countries and all seven continents, including Antarctica? Good news: this seal had very low radon!
DURRIDGE Tip
Are you aware that radon entry points can be located by sniffing for thoron? Soil gas contains radon and thoron, and when it leaves the soil, both the radon and the thoron start to decay. Thoron has a half-life of less than a minute, so soil gas which has been out of the soil more than a few minutes will have lost almost all of its thoron. Because of its short half-life, the thoron will be found only close to the radon entry point. Learn more about this technique from the application note.
Radon in the News
The sobering article "America's Radioactive Secret" appeared in Rolling Stone earlier this year. Learn how oil and gas extraction produces dangerous levels of radon and other radioactive waste that workers are exposed to but unaware of.
