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.
