Indoor air quality is often 5 times worse than outdoor air quality. Knowing that most people spend 90% of their time indoors, the air they breathe has a major impact on their well-being and their health. Airthings now offers its solutions for air quality monitoring and control.
In France, 1 in 4 people suffer from seasonal allergies, ie 25 to 30% of the French population. And because of global warming, atmospheric pollution and changes in the indoor environment (hygiene, materials used, etc.), the frequency of these allergies has been steadily increasing for several years. The people most affected are those exposed to high levels of air pollution (pesticides, smoke from fireplaces, pollutants, etc.) and passive smoking, especially children.
Air pollution is responsible for almost 1 in 10 deaths in Île-de-France. It promotes the development of serious chronic pathologies, in particular cardiovascular, respiratory and cancers. The most vulnerable people are young and old because their metabolism is either developing or weakened.
Finally, the radon is a radioactive gas resulting from the disintegration of uranium and radium present naturally in the ground and rocks. These descendants can attach themselves to aerosols in the air and, once inhaled, settle along the respiratory tract causing them to be irradiated.
Thereby, Airthings will support people affected by these allergies, air pollution or radon. With its solutions, the company, founded in 2008, will help those who suffer from asthma, allergies, respiratory problems, eye and skin irritations, headaches, it will also improve their quality sleep, indoor comfort, and finally reduce their energy consumption.
This international technology company led by a team of experienced scientists, engineers, developers and visionaries, today offers simple, durable and accessible technological solutions for air monitoring and control.
Airthings, an essential tool for your health
The goal ofAirthings is to raise public awareness of the prevalence of radonthe leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, as well as other indoor air contaminants, and help maintain good health while improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
Ses leitmotivs :

Airthings, quality air for everyone
Airthings will act in different places: at home with its products View Pollution et View Radon, but also in business, at school and in buildings (hospitals, etc.) with its “for Business” range. These different monitors will protect homes, workplaces or schools from toxins and chemicals present in the air.

The different Airthings sensors
View Pollution
More people are living in polluted cities, asthma symptoms and cases are increasing, and wildfire seasons are getting longer. Particulate matter (PM) is the result of many changes on a global scale, and the smaller the particle, the deeper it can penetrate into the body. How many particles are in houses? Understand people’s exposure to particulate matter at home with View Pollution helps to raise awareness and prevent them. Featuring PM2.5, humidity and temperature sensors, the View Pollution helps prevent asthma by keeping particulate matter and moisture levels at recommended levels. The latter also allows you to keep an eye on the level of ambient pollution in the house and thus check the proper functioning of your air purifier.

View Radon
Le radon is a dangerous gas found in all homes. View Radon is a battery-operated, wifi-connected monitor with a built-in screen, featuring the latest technology fromAirthings in radon detection. Every home needs a radon detector and therefore needs a detector of this type. The device allows a real monitoring of the rooms of the house and thus better control the air breathed. The latter will calculate the rates and prevent exposure to the carcinogenic gas of radon, present in all buildings and homes. But it goes further, offering humidity and temperature control to prevent mold, dust mites, skin irritations and the spread of viruses, which also improves sleep and productivity.

View Plus
With View Plus, it is possible to protect yourself from atmospheric pollutants: radon, fine particles in suspension (PM), carbon dioxide (CO2), humidity, temperature, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and atmospheric pressure. Even though many things are beyond our control — pollution, asthma, allergies, forest fires, viruses — it is now possible to act on the quality of the air we breathe indoors. The detector View Plus monitors indoor air quality with the most advanced technology. It is battery-powered (or via USB), has a WiFi connection, includes a customizable screen, as well as an application (iOS/Android) and an online dashboard with comprehensive data and reports. Once the data is displayed, simple gestures can significantly help you breathe easier.
