Page 3: Radioactivity, In Short
● RADIOACTIVITY, IN SHORT Natural and artificial radioactivity Source : www.irsn.fr Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon that has existed since the origin of the Universe, billions of years ago, when atoms were formed. Although built on the same model, all atoms do not have the same properties : some are stable and remain unchanged indefinitely, while others are unstable. - Page 4 USER GUIDE Radon sensors ÆR² / ÆR²+ / ÆR²C Contamination and radiation exposure Source : www.irsn.fr There are two types of exposure to radioactivity : First of all, the term irradiation corresponds to external exposure. Indeed, radionuclides are naturally present in our environment. Therefore, each of us is more or less exposed to one or two of the ionizing radiation (particle or wave) that it emits.

Page 5: What Is Radon
What is Radon ? Source : www.irsn.fr Radon, a radioactive gas of natural origin, represents a major part of the average exposure of the populations to ionizing radiation. It is present everywhere on the surface of the Earth in varying concentrations depending on the region. -
Page 6: Frequently Asked Questions
USER GUIDE Radon sensors ÆR² / ÆR²+ / ÆR²C ● FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why my Radon sensor always displays the same values ? The calibration coefficient is a value determined with a Radon source by placing the Radon monitor ÆR² in a Radon enclosure and comparing it to a reference Radon measuring instrument (connected to the primary standard). - Page 7 Is it normal that the measurement varies widely ? Radon, by its radioactive nature, is a random phenomenon. Therefore, the lower the Radon activity, the greater the measurement uncertainty. Measuring Radon is not the same as measuring temperature, for example. A temperature sensor always displays a measurement that fluctuates very little from one moment to the next.

Page 8: About Air Quality And Voc
USER GUIDE Radon sensors ÆR² / ÆR²+ / ÆR²C ● ABOUT AIR QUALITY AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC) The ÆR² Radon monitor is equipped with a sensor which can detect the presence of VOCs in the air and thus to estimate an index of the quality of the air you breathe (IAQ). This air quality index comes in the form of a measured value ranging from 0 to 500. -
Page 9: Good To Know
● GOOD TO KNOW ! The response time of the ÆR² Radon monitor is not instantaneous, in particular during a drop in the Radon value : If the monitor has been measuring a high Radon value for several hours, then, when it is moved into an healthy environment (a well-ventilated room, for example), the next measurement will not immediately be representative. -
