Placement Guide

Where to put
each sensor

Kitchen
Priority placement
Kitchens generate the highest household metal exposure — aluminum from cookware, gas combustion byproducts, and food particle burns. Place 3–5 feet off the ground, away from direct heat sources.
High priority
Bedroom
Long-exposure room
You spend 6–8 hours per night in your bedroom. Even low exposure concentrations compound over time. Place near the bed at breathing height for the most accurate overnight readings.
Long dwell time
Garage
Combustion risk zone
Vehicle exhaust, paint fumes, and metalworking are common garage sources. Canary detects chromium, nickel, and carbon compounds that can infiltrate living spaces through shared walls and HVAC.
Infiltration source
Basement
Radon & moisture zone
Basements collect radon, mold spores, and particulates from HVAC equipment. If your home has older pipes, a basement sensor can catch lead and copper at the source before they spread upward.
Accumulation zone
Living Room
Social space baseline
Your living room provides the household baseline — lower exposure than the kitchen, higher dwell time than most other rooms. It's the best room for understanding your family's average daily exposure.
Baseline reading
Home Office
Prolonged screen time
Electronics emit trace flame retardants and plasticizers over time. If you work from home, your office may have elevated VOC and fine particle levels. A sensor here reveals what your workday costs you.
