Congratulations on taking this important step toward living a healthier life.

By keeping track of your Indoor Air Quality and radon levels, you can make healthier decisions in
the spaces where you spend most of your time. Increased productivity and energy levels, better
quality sleep, and resistance to illness are just a few of the benefits. Lessening your exposure to
radon will reduce your risk of lung cancer.

The Airthings HUB provides you 24/7 access to your Airthings indoor air quality monitoring
devices with detailed information about Radon, VOCs, CO2, Temperature, Humidity and Air
Pressure levels on your Airthings Dashboard

Once registration is complete, the network will form by itself.

The placement of your Airthings Ecosystem devices depends on a number of factors, like walls or
barriers that break up the space. It is also important to consider what the building is made of to
determine the range for the Airthings SmartLink or Bluetooth connection.
