Proven effectiveness of Murprotec AHUs against radon

Radon is a natural radioactive gas present in the subsoil of many Swiss regions. In nature, it is diluted in the air and does not represent a health risk but in indoor air it becomes a real danger not to be taken lightly. Radon gas penetrates easily through the smallest cracks of a house’s foundation slab, through its joints...It will accumulate in the indoor air, especially if the house is well insulated. It can then reach concentrations that exceed the thresholds set by health authorities.

Radon is a significant health risk as it is recognized as one of the leading causes of lung cancer after smoking.

Die von Murprotec entwickelten AHU-Lüftungsgeräte beseitigen Schadstoffe aus der Raumluft. Angesichts des hohen Risikos, das von Radon ausgeht, hat Murprotec eine Studie bei einem auf Bauwesen spezialisierten wissenschaftlichen Institut in Auftrag gegeben, um die Wirksamkeit der AHUs Murprotec AHU3, AHU4 und AHU500 bei der Reduzierung der Radonwerte zu ermitteln.

This study was conducted on three buildings with different characteristics. For each of them, it measured the initial radon levels and the radon levels after the installation of Murprotec AHUs.

The report concludes that the efficiency of all Murprotec air handling units ranges from 72 to 96%. The radon levels were reduced up to 20 times compared to the initial concentration and, in all cases, reduced to a level below the tolerance thresholds set by health authorities..
