Airthings has launched its new Corentium Home 2 digital radon detector, which first debuted at CES 2025 earlier this year.
The Corentium Home 2 provides smart and practical insights and advice, helping homeowners manage the risk radon may pose and ensure a healthier home. Alongside the launch of the product, Airthings released a short documentary highlighting why every home should measure radon. The video features Judith Spence, a resident of Clarendon, QC, whose home was found to have dangerously high levels of radon. In the film, Judith shares her story of how she discovered high levels of radon in her area, and how Airthings’ technology helped her family breathe easily again. The video is part of “The Human Component” Series, recognizing innovative technologies helping to support a more resilient planet, stronger societies, and healthy communities. It is produced for Airthings by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions.
According to Airthings, nearly 25% of the U.S. population lives in areas exposed to unsafe radon levels. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon gas remains a silent killer and is the leading cause of lung cancer for nonsmokers each year in both the U.S. and Canada. Yet even though radon is a widespread health risk, Airthings’ research shows that three out of four Americans have never tested their home for radon.
Corentium Home 2 was developed to help make radon testing simple and accessible to anyone. It boasts improved sensor technology, offering more reliable data than the first version of the detector. There are digital and AI-driven integrated capabilities in the Airthings app, offering personalized, tailored radon insights designed to help people understand and react confidently to their radon situation. This includes an upcoming feature that lets you compare the radon levels in your home with other homes in the area.
“Radon gas poses a real threat to health, and we believe that every home should measure radon,” says Emma Tryti, CEO of Airthings. “Yet many people don’t know how or why to test for radon or what the results mean. Corentium Home 2 meets the growing demand that we’ve seen in this category. It offers a much-needed solution to simplify radon monitoring, empowering people to get started with their radon monitoring journey and access, forecast, and understand their levels.”
Alongside Corentium Home 2 and the new features in the Airthings app, Airthings also debuted a revamped version of its free resource for geographic radon data, RadonMap.com. With RadonMap, anyone worldwide can enter their home address and access unique insight into radon levels sourced anonymously from homes in both their home state and local region, along with historical data and resources to learn how to test their home for radon.
The Airthings Corentium Home 2 is now available for US$180.
