Lab Impex launch SmartCAM their New Alpha/Beta Particulate in Air monitor
SmartCAM is the next generation Continuous Air Monitor (CAM) delivering unparalleled performance in terms of detectable limit, sensitivity and speed to alarm. SmartCAM utilises Spectral Measurement Analysis in Real Time (SMART) technology to provide real advances in alpha particulate detection techniques.
Using an isotope peak fitting algorithm is proven to be more accurate than using regions-of-interest or tail-fitting methods, resulting in faster, more accurate and more reliable response. In operation the SmartCAM continually monitors alpha and beta particulates deposited on a static card mounted filter (optional moving filter will also be available) with a high efficiency solid state detector. Air is drawn through the card-mounted filter by an external vacuum pump or distributed vacuum main.
The SmartCAM utilises proven features of Lab Impex's previous generation CAM, the CMS-2000, such as the highly efficient head design. Where the SmartCAM sets itself apart from other systems is in its ability to accurately determine background (Radon and Gamma) ensuring the limitation of costly false alarms.
A ground breaking enhancement contributing to this unrivalled performance is the introduction of temperature and barometric pressure compensation (patent pending). This enhancement enables stabilisation of the alpha spectrum which contributes to a reduction in spectrum shift known to be caused by changes in temperature and barometric pressure, thus aiding improved detection accuracy.

FHFA Announces New Radon Testing Requirements for Multifamily Property Loan Applications
New standards requiring additional radon testing for multifamily properties with loan applications received after June 30, 2023 were announced earlier this year by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). According to FHFA, the enhancements to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) multifamily radon standards will help to ensure that properties with hazardous levels of radon are more accurately identified and properly mitigated. Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas that has been found in homes and...

Multifamily Property Loan Applicants Face New Radon Testing Requirements
Back in January, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced enhancements to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) multifamily radon standards. The Enterprises’ aligned radon standards will require additional radon testing for multifamily properties with loan applications received after June 30, 2023. According to FHFA, enhancements to radon standards will require testing at Enterprise-backed multifamily properties, regardless of where the property is located (subject to some exceptions and...

Dangers of Nuclear Radiation
The explosion of an atomic bomb or a nuclear reactor releases high-energy radiation. This comes from nuclides, i.e. atoms, which emit energy in the form of high-energy radiation when they decay. Nuclides and high-energy radiation are also used in medicine for diagnosis and therapy. Moreover, it is often forgotten that the human body is permanently exposed to natural sources such as radon and cosmic radiation When high-energy radiation hits our bodies, it breaks down molecules and the genetic material DNA. The...

National Indoor Air Quality Awareness Month and Resources for Building Owners and Managers
National Indoor Air Quality Awareness Month takes place each October. The term indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air in any type of building environment. Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) so indoor air quality can have a significant impact on their comfort, health, and even productivity. EPA also states that the concentrations of some indoor pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. This is...
