Abstract:

A radon monitor includes a housing defining a housing cavity and having an opening in an exterior wall that is in fluid communication with the housing cavity to allow air to diffuse into and out of the housing cavity. The monitor also includes input and output units and a circuit board that is positioned in the housing cavity and supported by the housing. A passive, non-electrically powered sampling chamber defines a chamber cavity and is coupled to the circuit board. The circuit board defines a plurality of apertures that allow air to diffuse between the housing cavity and the chamber cavity. A detector for detecting radon is supported by the circuit board and positioned in the chamber cavity.
