Airthings Launches Space Radon Continuous Monitoring System
Airthings’ Space Radon is a continuous radon monitor that uses the same alpha spectrometry sensor technology that radon professionals employ. It measures the energy of individual alpha particles to distinguish radon from background radiation, a power-efficient approach that enables the monitor to deliver 8 years of battery life. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, can enter buildings from the ground and accumulate indoors; it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer worldwide and the leading cause among non-smokers.
In addition to radon, Space Radon also tracks carbon dioxide, humidity, temperature, pressure, and light, and provides cloud-based insights, including virtual sensors for Occupancy, Virus Risk, Ventilation Rate, and Mold Risk. Space Radon connects with existing Airthings for Business systems.
