What is a common application of Continuous Radon Monitors?

Continuous Radon Monitors (CRMs) are primarily designed to provide real-time measurements of radon levels in indoor environments. They measure radon concentrations continuously, often at set intervals, which typically results in providing hourly averages.

This capability allows users to monitor fluctuations in radon levels throughout the day, reflecting changes in environmental conditions or occupancy patterns. Consequently, continuous monitoring is particularly useful in understanding short-term variations that may not be captured by long-term testing methods.

Other applications of CRMs can include providing immediate insights into radon levels during a real estate transaction or post-mitigation assessments. However, the defining characteristic of a Continuous Radon Monitor is its ability to collect data frequently, thus making it distinctively valuable for gathering hourly samples and analyzing trends over time.
