WHY WORRY ABOUT RADON?
Radon gas is the number 1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and kills 6 times more people than house fires and carbon monoxide combined. The US Environmental Protection Agency recommends radon levels remain below 4 pCi/L.

EVERYDAY USE

What do my levels mean?
Radon is measured in picocuries/Liter (pCi/L).
Higher than 4 pCi/L
POOR: Keep measuring. If levels are maintained
for more than 1 month, contact a radon mitigation professional.
Between 2 and 4 pCi/L FAIR: Keep measuring, if levels are maintained for more than 3 months, contact radon mitigation professional.
Less than 2 pCi/L
GOOD: No action needed, continue monitoring.

PLACEMENT
Place the device in living areas on lower levels, such as a basement or living room. The device should not be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture. It should be placed at least 1.5ft/50cm above the ground and at least 5ft/150cm from the nearest door, window, or air vent. Do not move the device during measurement. The screen should be facing upwards. The device can be laid flat on a surface with the screen facing up (recommended) or mounted on a wall. High humidity levels (over 85%) can cause permanent damage to the device, erratic readings, and/or error codes.

ACCURACY
Results are more accurate over a longer measurement period. We recommend measuring for at least 2 months for a good indication of your long-term exposure.

LONG TERM VS. SHORT TERM AVERAGES
After a full 7-days of measuring your detector will start to switch from a 24-hour measurement to a 7-day average every 6 seconds. The long-term average is intended to identify potential health hazards, while the short-term average should be used to assess the effects of radon reduction efforts, such as increased ventilation, sealing cracks, etc.

RADON REPORTS
Save historic measurements and create reports with up to a year of data using the Airthings reporting tool. Go to dashboard.airthings.com/ home-report to get started.
