Ionizers and You

Air purifiers utilize multiple kinds of technology. There are combination filters, HEPA technology, and Ionizers among many others. It can all get very confusing especially when shopping for your first air purifier. Luckily the staff at Air Purifier Home understands this and has taken the time to help you understand what exactly goes into an air purifier and how it affects you.

Ionizers

In 1974, scientists at the Swiss Meteorological Institute began studying problems that occur with seasonal winds. These problems range from headaches to depression to heart attacks. The linking factor between all these symptoms was the type of electrical charge of airborne ions. A high concentration of positive ions were discovered to cause adverse symptoms to living beings while negatively charged ions were found to have positive effects. They help plants grow faster, animals are calmer and humans tend to have increased alertness and relaxation.

So how does an air purifier help this? Well, ionic air purifiers produce a stream of negative ion that bond with positive ions in the air we breathe. They then become heavy and fall to the ground, eliminating polluted air, cigarette smoke and airborne particles. Plus these negative ions help in increased oxygen intake. This in turn improves mood, anxiety, cognitive ability, energy and reduces depression. Ionizers are great for those with sensitive lung and do not like noise. Best of all most are built to release minimal ozone.
