Which type of monitors can integrate, record, and produce reviewable readings in time increments of 1 hour?

Continuous monitors are designed to provide real-time radon measurements, integrating, recording, and producing readings at specific time intervals, such as every hour. This capability allows continuous monitors to offer a detailed profile of radon levels over time, which is essential for understanding fluctuations that can occur based on environmental conditions, occupancy, and ventilation changes. This time-specific data is crucial for accurate assessment and decision-making regarding radon exposure.

In contrast, passive monitors typically capture radon levels over a longer period without any capability for real-time data logging or hourly integration. Instant monitors provide a single measurement at a particular moment, rather than continuous data, while short-term monitors may offer a range but do not necessarily provide the same level of detailed time-related data as continuous monitors. This functionality of continuous monitors makes them particularly valuable for comprehensive radon assessment, ensuring that all variations in radon concentration are documented accurately.
