GQ GMC-500Plus Geiger Counter logs beta, gamma, and X-ray levels for environmental monitoring, training labs, and safety demonstrations.

Dr. Robert Brouillette, MUHC pediatrician and professor of Pediatrics at McGill University said, "This new method of diagnosing sleep apnea and of prioritizing treatment schedules is a significant advance. Now we can detect, treat and cure the worst cases of sleep apnea in just a few days where previously children had to wait months, if diagnostic facilities were even available."

These findings are published in the January issue of Pediatrics (vol 113, #1, e19-e25) and are currently available online at http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/current.shtml .
