INTRODUCTION

   Good air quality is something most people all over the world take for granted om a daily basis and well they shouldn't, especially people who live in big cities. I too thought air quality wasn't a serious enough issue up until the moment i started testing air quality monitors and found out that most numbers recorded by all of them were way above the levels of what many international health agencies had deemed as harmful to people. Needless to say, in order to double check those numbers i went out and got several air purifiers which for the most part all but verified those results. Aside all the usual suspects in regards to air pollution (PM2.5/PM10/CO/VOC/SO2) there are other gasses equally harmful and Radon (Rn) is clearly among them. Just like a few others Radon is also a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas which means that in order to detect it you need a device like the INK-RD2 smart monitor by INKBIRD.

   INKBIRD is a smart IoT technology company and its business was established in 2010. As a high-tech company, INKBIRD has been devoting itself to offering its worldwide users excellent smart home living products, since the date it was established. Inspired by the history of quill-pen and the spirit of The Wright brothers’ making the world's first motor-operated airplane successfully happened, the founders of INKBIRD named the brand with the word INK which is used for writing with the quill-pen and the word BIRD which is the prototype and the inspiration of human being’s flying tools to encourage the development and continuity of the company as well as to motivate their solid steps of chasing innovation and freedom.

   Radon gas is released when natural radioactive metals like uranium decay and since uranium especially is found in nearly all types of soil it's easy for it to move up through the ground and into your home through gaps between pipes, cracks and other holes in the foundation. This means that regardless of how old/new your home is Radon may become a problem if it builds up, something which happens especially during the winter due to what is known as the vacuum effect (warm inside, cold outside). Thanks to its advanced pulsed ion chamber sensor the INK-RD2 Monitor can effectively measure Radon with a sensitivity of just 30 CPH per 1pCil every 10 minutes and display those results via an LED placed on top (green/yellow/red) and a speaker placed at the rear (used if Radon content has severely exceeded safety levels). Needless to say, you can monitor everything the INK-RD2 records, export those recordings and also adjust some of its functions remotely via the INKIBIRD Android/iOS app (2.4GHz WiFi connectivity).
