Negative Ion Air Cleaner
Ion air cleaner use powerful air cleaning agents - also used in
nature- negative ions. The air purifiers remove particles and
pollutants from the air (the important part) over a larger area, than
even the best of HEPA air filters (Why Negative Ions).
Ion
air cleaner are virtually silent. You can only hear a very faint
"hissing". This is especially great for negative air cleaners placed in
the bedroom. Instead of a fan, the purification systems use an "ionic
breeze" (blower within the ion-producing electrodes) to help emit the
negative ions out into the air of the room. Once this occurs, it is not
difficult for the ions to be distributed throughout a single room or
area by way of natural currents.
Ion air cleaner
purifiers do not rely on collecting particles in order to clean the
air. This has proven to be largely ineffective, since most of the
floating particles in a room will not pass through a stationary HEPA
air cleaner filter. Most particles that affect the respiratory system
are too small to be captured by even the best of filters.
Negative
ions magnetically attract to airborne particulate, causing these to
settle out of the air you breathe. They can then be easily collected by
normal cleaning activities, such as vacuuming and dusting.
Since
no glass plates are used, no nitrogen oxides are produced. Nitrogen
oxides are a lung irritant that produce a "metallic" or "bleach-like"
smell. Negative ion clean purifiers produce a fresh and sweet smell of
ozone, since it does not create harmful byproducts when generating
ozone.
