Radon daughter product dosimeter
SARAD
The DOSEman PRO is a specialized dosimeter designed to measure radon daughter products, which are radioactive decay products of radon gas.
-
Alpha Decay Detection:
- Radon gas decays into a series of short-lived radioactive progeny, including isotopes like polonium-218, lead-214, bismuth-214, and polonium-214.
- These progeny emit alpha particles during their decay process, which can be detected and measured.
-
Potential Alpha Energy Concentration (PAEC):
- PAEC is a measure of the total alpha energy released by radon progeny in a given volume of air. It is expressed in units of Working Level (WL) or derived units like nJ/m³.
- PAEC is crucial for assessing the health risk from inhaling radon progeny, as alpha particles can damage lung tissue.
-
Air Sampling and Filtration:
- The device samples air and collects radon progeny on a filter.
- By drawing a known volume of air through the filter, the concentration of progeny can be determined.
Application: Workplace monitoring, Environmental assessment , and research field.

SARAD was founded in 1993. The company started as service provider assessing radioactive polluted properties with regard to their later decontamination. After a short time, the company started to develop electronic measuring instruments. In 1994, SARAD launched their first radon monitor. Since 1997, the development and manufacturing of premium measuring equipment have become the pillars the company is built on. Due to its positive business performance, the company was able to move into its own corporate building in 2000. Step by step the range of products has been extended over the following years.
At the Radon Symposium conducted by the ARPS 2024 Conference, ADM learnt that Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) in Australia are to take mitigation actions in the workplace, if naturally occurring radon concentration levels fall between 200 Bq/m3 and 1000 Bq/m3, or higher.
