Airthings

Airthings is a global technology company founded in 2008 by scientists from CERN who identified a critical gap in radon detection and indoor air quality monitoring. The company develops accessible, connected devices that measure radon, particulate matter, CO2, volatile organic compounds, and other indoor air contaminants. Their approach combines continuous digital monitoring with cloud-connected apps that provide actionable insights, allowing homeowners, businesses, and professionals to understand and optimize their indoor air quality in real time.

The company's product line spans consumer monitors like the Wave Plus and View Plus, the Renew air purifier with HEPA-13 filtration, and professional-grade solutions for offices, schools, and HVAC professionals. Airthings emphasizes that radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and their devices provide both short-term and long-term measurements to help users make informed decisions about their air quality. With over 300,000 monitors sold internationally and billions of air quality data points collected, the company positions itself as the global leader in comprehensive air monitoring.

Airthings operates with an in-house team of scientists and engineers who handle research, design, development, and testing. The company maintains headquarters in Oslo, Norway, with offices in the US, Canada, and Sweden, and employs over 90 people across multiple nationalities. Their mission centers on empowering people to breathe better through simple, affordable, and accurate technology while optimizing energy consumption in buildings.
