RAD-7 Radon Detector
Instrument Short Name: RAD7
Instrument Description:

The DURRIDGE RAD7 is a radon and thoron detector. The RAD7 is a computer-driven electronic detector, with pre-programmed set-ups for common tasks. It's built to withstand everyday use in the field. A rugged case encloses the detector, which is self-contained and self-sufficient. The RAD7 comes with a built-in air pump, rechargeable batteries, and a wireless infrared printer.

Dataset-specific description

Rn in the lagoon surface waters were measured continuously using an automated pumping and sparging system connected to a suite of three RAD-7 detectors arranged with the counting cycles time-parallel for real-time in situ analysis (Burnett et al. 2001; Dulaiova et al.2005).

Radon concentrations in discrete samples of deep and shallow groundwater were measured on 250- ml grab samples using an additional radon-in-water (RAD-H2O) accessory (Durridge) to the RAD7 radon detector.
