About Radon

Radon is an odourless and invisible radioactive gas that can occur in indoor air. Measurement is the only way to find out the radon concentration. This section contains important information about radon.

Current issues

The European research project MetroPOEM, which focused on improving the measurement and traceability of both radioactive and non-radioactive environmental pollutants, has successfully achieved its goals.

The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) has sent a letter to workplaces in the municipalities of Pukkila, Hausjärvi, Mäntsälä, Orimattila and Miehikkälä requesting information on the radon levels in their workspaces.
