We spend upwards of 90% of our time indoors, and that number can be even higher for people who work and operate their own business from home.
However, indoor air pollution often takes a backseat to outdoor air quality and pollution in the discussion about how air quality impacts our health. Enter the Airthings Wave Plus. Wave Plus is the only battery-operated smart indoor air quality monitor with Radon detection. With Wave Plus, users can gain short-and long-term visibility into six critical indoor air quality factors, including sensors for three different air pollutants: radon, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC’s), and carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as temperature, humidity and air pressure. By simply waving a hand in front of the battery-operated, Bluetooth-enabled device you can get an instant color-coded reading of your air quality.
Working from home can often result in spending extended time in an indoor environment with poor ventilation or polluted air. Wave Plus sheds light on the very real health threats of dangerous indoor air pollutants that can be common in the home office, like Radon, CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are pollutant gases that emit from everyday household items and tasks — ranging from cleaning products and paints to cosmetic products and scented candles to even soaps and cooking. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and every year kills more than 6 times the amount of people than home fires and carbon monoxide poisoning combined. CO2 can reduce cognitive function by more than 20%, making a significant impact on your ability to work effectively and efficiently, and TVOCs can cause anything from throat irritation to liver damage and cancer.
By connecting the Wave Plus with the free Airthings mobile app and Dashboard, Wave Plus users can gain access to view and export data for particular needs, analyze air quality in specific rooms, pair devices to compare and contrast quality in various locations and identify potential opportunities to enhance ventilation and other money saving options. Wave Plus is also compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and IFTTT, making it an ideal addition to any existing smart home ecosystem.
Continuous home monitoring of indoor air quality is necessary to minimize potential health effects. If you work from home, Wave Plus is the perfect solution to achieve peace-of-mind about the quality of air you’re breathing and minimize the chance of exposure to detrimental health effects and illnesses. With the versatility to measure air quality levels in any home, office, school or public space, Wave Plus can play an instrumental role in increasing overall health, energy and professional productivity.
Wave Plus retails for $269 and is available at Airthings.com and major retailers such as Home Depot, Best Buy, Ace Hardware and Amazon.
