does it detect Radon?
2007719
Not accurately the normal way to measure Radon emission is to place the absorption kit in the room and let it remain for the entire duration of the instructions, 12 hours or 24 hours and then send it off to the lab to have it analyzed for exposure. Radon is a normal occurrence it's the excessive amounts that cause concern.

I cannot imagine that it could. It only measures pressure within a stack pipe that exhausts radon gas.

No it is not a spectrophotometer . It is a crudely simple radiation counter. It is mainly gamma rays sensitive. The most interesting usage I had from it was from taking it up in a commercial jet on a holiday and watching the radiation levels soar to about 20 times what it was in my kitchen. (This is well-known but still interesting to see oneself.) I have also detected beaches that were radioactive with natural thorium but it has to be laid on the sand to work. It's a bit crude and it is worth knowing the basics of radiation counting before you use it, for example what a sievert and or micro-sievert is. No it is not a spectrophotometer .

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you need a different type of radiation detector. Look into an electromagnetic radiation detector.

No,this is for extreme high end gamma like from a nuke or reactor leak. I think you are looking for a more sensitive device like a DOS meter.

Yes. It will detect the ka band and/or k band that is associated with the device. Will not identify to you to what actually threat is as the possibilities are endless. The k and ka bands are very widley used. Ive had this detector for about a year and I love it.

That would depend upon which type of radiation you are referring to. This does measure electrical radiation, such as power lines and so forth. As to nuclear radiation, I don't know. If you have it near a power station it starts to go crazy. If I walk down the street where I live I get a few readings, then when I turn a corner where there are a lot of electrical power lines, TV antennas it goes nuts.

Yes, this meter will detect all three forms of radiation - alpha & beta particles, and gamma rays. Using the meter, you should be able to detect elevated levels of radiation if placed near the fish (not through glass). Please note, there is background radiation everywhere (your home, car, outside, work, neighborhood park, etc) so just because it clicks and registers, doesn't mean harmful levels of radiation are present. You must determine what levels are unsafe for you/your family based on scientific dosage guidelines.

yes, it will detect radiation from x-rays. also, it will detect radiation from construction site those soil compact tester (yellow box).
1897669
yes. It is stated in the manual.You also can modify the circuit to build your own detector.

Yes. It monitors both movement and breathing and if it doesn't detect anything it will alert you. Thankfully the only time that has happened is when I forgot to turn it off after a nap, but I was glad to know it worked.

One unit should be fine..but without knowing your radon levels and other factors noone can provide you a concrete answer

I have no idea if it even works there's a test button on it that works but will it detect radiation i have no idea and i hope i will never have to find out !

Hi, it will read radiation from any source. If your smart meter done well, it should be zero

No. The device doesn't detect Alpha radiation. Alpha has very short waves and can not penetrate skin or thin layer of air. However, if there is Alpha radiation there would be Beta or Gamma one as well. It's almost impossible in a real life to find Alpha radiation alone. intelGadgets.com

This does not distinguish parts of the solar spectrum (infrared, visible, uva, uvb, etc) so probably not. I use it to check the overall solar irradiation level as measured in Watts per Meter^2 (which is generally from 0 W/m2 to 1300 W/mw on ground level).
