Ionic Air Purifier

If you live in a city that is chock full with cars, factories, and people, you are most likely facing pollution straight in the eye. Little do you know that even with your windows closed, curtains draped and doors sealed, these pollutants can still linger in the air and make their way into your system while you are innocently sleeping. That is why the rise of air purifiers is at an all time high, with various models, designs and technologies available for those concerned about their health. One of these models is the ionic air purifier.

The ionic air purifier does not operate with filters or it need not have moving mechanisms to keep the air clean and fresh. What it does is to release negatively charged ions that bind with pollutants such as pollens, dust mites, pet dander, and such. After which, the negatively charged ion is then magnetized towards positive ions, which the purifier is filled with.

There are, however, various issues surrounding the ionic air purifier. First of all, people note that while the negative ions really do stick with the pollutants, positive ions are not only present in the purifier. In fact, they are everywhere at home, from the walls to the TV. So, you really cannot be sure whether the particles go directly to the purifier or just linger around your home.

Another issue surrounding the ionic air purifier is the rumored release of a particle called ozone. This ozone is known to be a one of a kind pollutant, damaging the environment and impacting health of people who inhale it.

While the ionic air purifier really does stop pollutants from floating all over the air, just like with other purifiers, you really have no idea where they go after. Let’s just hope that they stick to where they should be and minimize the allergens in your air.
