This is a radically different method of air purification than a hepa air purifier which uses a fan to draw air inside the unit and a filter to collect the airborne pollutants before pushing fresh air back into a room.
Ionized air filter.
An introduction for health professionals ion generators act by charging the particles in a room so that they are attracted to walls floors tabletops draperies occupants etc.
But wait 3 ionizers make things dirty.
In physics opposites attract and when these two ions come into contact with each other they form an ionic bond creating ionized air.
What are ionizers and other ozone generating air cleaners.
But a lot of questions tend to come with the use of air ionizers one of the most common being are air ionizers dangerous.
Some critics believe that air ionizers give off dangerous levels of ozone.
It s fitted with both a hepa filter for particle filtration and a carbon filter to.
In fact many manufacturers these days often include ionizing features into their air purifiers to simply.
An investigation by consumers.
It s extremely reasonably priced but it does only purify a 50 square foot area.
It depends on who you ask.
Ionizers are also available as individual air quality machines and are included built in features in some air circulating fans such as the lasko 2551 wind curve platinum tower fan.
Air ionizers are designed to help provide cleaner air and they do this by utilizing ionized particles.
April 4 2005 some popular ionizing air cleaners could be hazardous to your health especially if you have asthma or allergies says a product testing group.
Plus it has very good features for the price.
You should not buy an air ionizer.
The problem is when you put that many ions into the air it produces ozone.
If you have made it down this far and digested all the information about air ionizers whether they are marketed as an ionic air cleaner or ionizer you probably realize by now that most people should not buy an air purifier with an ionizing feature.
The maker of this tiny air purifier claims it will clean the air in rooms up to 129 square feet.
An ionizer air cleaner operates by sending out negatively charged ions into the air.
Airborne pollutants such as dust pollen bacteria and mold contain positively charged ions.
Abrasion can result in these particles being resuspended into the air.
Even if we use a really strong ionizer and even if we can accept the ozone you might have noticed that the ionizer didn t actually filter out the particles.
Ozone is harmful so that s not good.
