Radon measurements on workplaces
The home environment is clearly very important. The same goes for the work environment! The maximum value for radon in the workplace according to EU directive is 100-300 Bq/m3 in the air. The value is set by each member country. I.e. for Sweden, it is the Swedish Work Environment Authority who are the regulatory authority and the correcsponding reference value is 200 Bq/m3.

- On floors above ground level, at least 1 detector is placed on each floor with permanent workplaces and at least 1 detector for every 500 m2.
