Which radon measurement device records a time series of measurements averaged over 1-hour intervals?

The continuous radon monitor is specifically designed to record radon levels continuously over time, providing a time series of measurements that can be averaged over defined intervals, typically one hour. This capability allows for a detailed understanding of how radon concentrations fluctuate in a given environment throughout the day and night, which is critical for accurately assessing long-term radon exposure risks.

Continuous radon monitors utilize advanced sensors to continuously measure the radon levels in the air and can store this data for later analysis. The result is a comprehensive profile of radon levels, which can guide mitigation efforts if needed.

In comparison, other types of devices mentioned do not offer the same level of continuous data measurement. Electret ion chamber detectors measure radon levels but typically require a longer exposure time without providing real-time data. Electronic integrating devices may also aggregate data but may not specifically measure radon levels in such a detailed time series. Grab sample devices take one-time measurements and do not continuously monitor radon levels, therefore lacking the ability to present data averaged over time intervals.
