Radiation (ionizing radiation) presents radiation types which are dangerous for human and can ionize the substance. There is alpha, beta, gamma and X-ray radiation.
Effects on the human body: ionizing radiation destroys proteins, DNA, changes the cell structure. This leads to development of cancer, possible mutations in the offspring.
The Sources of increased ionizing radiation can be found anywhere: construction materials, food, jewelry and even children's toys can be dangerous.
How to detect radiation? The object contaminated by radiation can be detected only by means of specialized devices (dosimeters) with embedded radiation sensor. SOEKS Quantum has simple and reliable embedded SBM 20-1 sensors manufactured by Rosatom, which are used in most modern dosimeters. They enable quick and accurate detection of the increased radiation background.
SOEKS Quantum is a professional dosimeter that combines measurement accuracy, user-friendly interface and affordable price. Color and sound indication, measurement results recorded in device memory, the capability to move data to computer and update the software with "SOEKS Device Manager" program make device operation as comfortable as possible for both professionals and naive users. That is why Quantum has become the most popular professional dosimeter. It can be used by public services (state emergency services, customs), banks, nuclear power plants etc., and in everyday life (for checking home, construction materials, garden plot). If necessary the instrument can be calibrated in a specialized accredited laboratory.
