RMD project

RMD - Radon Mitigation and Dosimetry

Radon-222 (222Rn) is a radioactive noble gas that occurs naturally in the Earth's crust. Through diffusion, it can be found in the air we breathe. Excessive concentrations in enclosed spaces pose a real health risk.

Air purification filtration bench

Air purification filtration bench

BAQ develops ionizer systems for air purification from radon particles. When placed in an airflow, the ionizer causes radon particles to precipitate into a heavier particle.
