©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.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.

| Radon isotope results from groundwater wells around Little Lagoon, Alabama from 2010-2012 (LittleLagoonGroundwater project) | 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. | RAD-7 |
| Control radon activity results from laboratory experiments to optimize the sparging chamber configuration for Radon-222 analysis | Data presented here were analyzed with 4 different RAD7 radon-in-air monitors (Durridge Co.). These instruments were calibrated annually by the manufacturer. Relevant serial numbers and corresponding Sniff Mode Sensitivities (in pCi/L) are: 2172: 0.236 2604: 0.383 2675: 0.224 2685: 0.401 | |
