BAQ, together with HEPIA is developing an innovative system to measure, assess and mitigate the effective dose due to airborne radioactive particulate matter. Beyond the field of radon mitigation, the system will work in most situations in which radioactive particulate gets dispersed in the environment, in particular workplaces. One example is the stone cutting industry for construction, another example is metal cutting as part of decommissioning of nuclear power plants.
HEPIA, the Geneva School of Landscape, Engineering and Architecture, is one of the six Geneva-based institutions attached to the universities of applied sciences of Western Switzerland (HES-SO).
