What does the View Plus actually measure?

The Airthings View Plus monitors seven indoor air quality factors at once: radon, particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide (CO₂), VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure. It is the most comprehensive consumer air quality monitor Airthings makes.

Radon — the #1 reason most Canadians buy: Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in Canada, according to Health Canada. The View Plus measures radon from 0 to 20,000 Bq/m³ using a passive diffusion chamber and alpha spectrometry, with the Airthings app flagging readings at or above 150 Bq/m³ — below the Health Canada action level of 200 Bq/m³.
PM2.5 — wildfire smoke and cooking: PM2.5 is fine particulate matter small enough to reach deep into the lungs. The View Plus uses a laser-scattering particle counter calibrated against a GRIMM reference instrument, with the Airthings app alert threshold set at 25 μg/m³. Typical sources include wildfire smoke, gas cooking, and candles.
CO₂ — the reason you wake up groggy: CO₂ above 1000 ppm impairs sleep and concentration, according to Harvard and LBNL research. The View Plus uses an NDIR sensor with a 400–5000 ppm range, and the Airthings app flags readings at or above 1000 ppm — a level closed bedrooms regularly hit overnight.
VOCs — what your cleaning spray leaves behind: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are airborne chemicals released by cleaning products, paint, new furniture, and adhesives. The View Plus measures total VOCs in parts per billion, with the Airthings app flagging concentrations at or above 250 ppb.
Temperature & Humidity — sleep and focus zones: Indoor temperature affects sleep quality, alertness, and mood, while humidity above 60% encourages mould and dust mites and below 30% causes dry skin. The View Plus tracks both continuously, with the Airthings app suggesting 16–18°C for sleep, 20–22°C for focused work, and humidity between 30–60%.
Air pressure — the radon connection: When outdoor air pressure drops, radon gas is drawn up more easily from the soil beneath your home, meaning pressure and radon levels often rise and fall together. The View Plus tracks pressure, helping you see the connection in the Airthings app.

Radon, in three questions

The risk you can't see, smell, or feel

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the ground and enters Canadian homes through cracks, floors, and foundations. The only way to know your home's level is to test for it.

Why measure radon at home?

You work hard to create a safe and happy home, but radon could be silently putting you and your family at risk. Radon is a naturally occurring, invisible gas that comes from the ground and can enter any home through cracks, floors, or foundations without any smell or warning. That makes radon a silent and invisible threat — and one that's especially relevant in Canada, where the 2024 Cross-Canada Radon Survey found that nearly 1 in 5 (17.8%) Canadian homes have radon levels at or above the Health Canada action level of 200 Bq/m³.

How radon affects your health

According to Health Canada, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada after smoking, and the leading cause among non-smokers. Long-term exposure to radon at the Health Canada action level of 200 Bq/m³ carries a meaningful lifetime lung cancer risk, and the risk increases with both the level and the duration of exposure.

Health Canada recommends that every Canadian home be tested for radon, regardless of geography or housing type. Levels can vary significantly between neighbouring homes, and even between rooms in the same home.

How to safeguard your home's future

Each home is unique when it comes to radon levels, so even neighbouring houses can have very different readings. The only way to know your home's radon level is to test continuously, and the View Plus gives you both short-term and long-term averages directly in the Airthings app.

Health Canada recommends a minimum three-month test during the heating season to establish a reliable long-term average. If your long-term average is at or above 200 Bq/m³, Health Canada recommends working with a C-NRPP-certified mitigation professional to lower the level. Professional mitigation can reduce radon levels by up to 95%.

Why indoor air matters

You spend 90% of your time indoors

Health Canada and the WHO note that people in developed countries spend roughly 90% of their time indoors, where the air can be several times more polluted than outdoor air. That makes the quality of your indoor air one of the largest day-to-day factors in your physical and mental health.

The View Plus monitors the seven indoor air quality factors that drive most of that risk, and the Airthings app turns each reading into a clear next step.

Built for real life at home

What can the View Plus help you fix?

Three of the most common everyday problems the View Plus measures — and what the Airthings app tells you to do about each one.

Airthings View Plus tracking pollen, humidity and VOCs for allergy and asthma triggers

Minimise allergy and asthma triggers

The View Plus and the Airthings app monitor the key indoor triggers behind seasonal allergies and asthma flare-ups.

Particulate matter — small airborne particles that can reach deep into the lungs.
Humidity — keep 30–60% to prevent mould and dust mites.
VOCs — airborne chemicals from household products that may cause irritation.
Pollen — local forecasts inside the Airthings app to plan ahead.

Enhance your sleep and performance

Monitor the indoor factors that quietly determine how well you sleep at night and how sharp you feel during the day.

CO₂ — high CO₂ from poor ventilation impairs sleep and mental performance, according to Harvard and LBNL.
Temperature — sleep best at 16–18°C, work best at 20–22°C.
VOCs — can cause headaches, fatigue, and poor concentration.

Protect from wildfire smoke and pollutants

Track outdoor pollution that finds its way indoors during Canadian wildfire season, traffic spikes, and stagnant air days.

PM2.5 — smoke particles are particularly dangerous during wildfire season.
CO₂ — monitor indoor levels to ensure good air quality when ventilation is limited.
VOCs — outdoor smoke can drive indoor VOCs upward when windows stay closed.

Where to place it

Where should you place the View Plus?

Place the View Plus in the room where your family spends the most time — typically the living room, kitchen, or main bedroom — at average breathing height and at least 90 cm from vents, fans, windows, or doors. Airthings recommends never placing the View Plus outdoors or in spaces above 85% humidity, which can permanently damage the radon sensor.

Living room or kitchen: Airthings recommends the room where the family gathers — this is where CO₂, VOCs from cooking, and PM2.5 from gas stoves matter most.
Main bedroom: Closed bedrooms regularly hit CO₂ levels of 1500 ppm or higher overnight, well above the 1000 ppm cognition threshold cited by Harvard and LBNL.
Basement or lowest lived-in level: Radon concentrates on lower floors, so a finished basement or first-floor room gives the most accurate radon picture for your Canadian home.

Frequently asked questions

View Plus questions, answered

Does the Airthings View Plus detect radon?: Yes. The Airthings View Plus uses a passive diffusion chamber and alpha spectrometry to detect radon from 0 to 20,000 Bq/m³, with accuracy of approximately 10% after 7 days and 5% after 2 months at 200 Bq/m³. The Airthings app flags any reading at or above 150 Bq/m³, below the Health Canada action level of 200 Bq/m³.
Is the View Plus C-NRPP approved?: Yes. The Airthings View Plus is C-NRPP Approved for use in Canada. The Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program independently performance-tests electronic radon monitors to give Canadian consumers an unbiased comparison of available devices.
What is the Health Canada radon action level?: Health Canada recommends taking action to lower radon if the long-term average in your home is at or above 200 Bq/m³. The Airthings app flags readings at 150 Bq/m³ and above so you can act before reaching the Health Canada threshold.
Where should I place the View Plus for best results?: You can use the View Plus in any room indoors where you want to track air quality. Because it is Airthings' most comprehensive monitor, Airthings recommends placing it in rooms where the family gathers — like the kitchen or family room. Never place the monitor outdoors or in conditions above 85% humidity, as this can permanently damage the radon sensor. Avoid placing it within 90 cm of vents, fans, windows, or doors. Place the device near where people spend time, at average breathing height, and never higher than 182 cm.
How do I know the measurements are accurate?: Every air sensor manufacturer reports the device's expected range of accuracy, which is why two devices placed side by side can report somewhat different values without either being defective. Airthings uses a proprietary radon sensor trusted by homeowners and professionals since 2011, a laser-based particulate sensor, and an NDIR carbon dioxide sensor. Check the View Plus product sheet on airthings.com for the accuracy range of each sensor.
Can I check my live View Plus readings in the app from anywhere?: Yes. The View Plus connects to your home Wi-Fi network so you can access live readings from anywhere in the Airthings app and receive timely notifications when air quality declines. You can also use IFTTT and Homey to create home automation flows triggered by View Plus sensor readings.
What is the hub feature in View Plus, and why is it useful?: The hub feature allows the View Plus to extend its internet connectivity to Airthings Wave monitors, which on their own use only Bluetooth. Linking Wave devices to the View Plus hub brings them online, enables timely air quality notifications, and extends Wave monitor battery life.
Do I need the Airthings app to use the View Plus?: Yes. The View Plus requires the free Airthings app (iOS or Android) to function, including initial setup, alerts, and trend data. The on-device e-ink display also shows live readings without opening your phone.
How long does the View Plus battery last?: The Airthings View Plus runs for up to 2 years on six AA batteries, depending on Wi-Fi router type and sensor reporting interval. You can also run it on USB-C power for always-on operation.
What warranty comes with the View Plus in Canada?: The View Plus ships with a standard warranty plus a free 5-year extended warranty available when you register the device on airthings.com within 30 days of purchase.
