Aircounter Makes Radiation Detection Accessible

Aircounter Makes Radiation Detection Accessible

The nuclear crisis in Fukushima and surrounding areas is far from over; and consumer radiation meters are expensive and available in special-interest stores. In an effort to make radiation detection more accessible, a Japan-based chemicals company S.T. Corp., in partnership with the Tokyo Metropolitan University, stepped in and introduces the Aircounter. The Aircounter device is a handheld radiation detector that is easy-to-use that even the middle-class, average Daisukes can understand. It enables users to detect radiation levels between 0.05 to 9.99 microsieverts per hour at a height of up to 1 meter above the ground.
