Ionic air cleaner: "Ionic air cleaners are the next generation of indoor allergen control
Ionic air cleaners clean by trapping airborne particles as they circulate past an array of electrically charged stainless steel blades. The units generate negative ions to attract positively charged particulates in the air.
They have no motor, operate silently with low power requirements, and requires no replacement filters.
Powered by ionic air purifier technology
Contaminated air from the room is drawn in through the unit at the back. As the particles enter, they are electrically charged and are attracted to the oppositely charged collection blades inside. These charged particles will stick to the blades until wiped off by the user.
Some brands are Endorsed by the Allergy Association of America
It is so effective at trapping airborne irritants, bacteria, allergens, dust and other contaminants that the Allergy Association of America has awarded its consumer product seal of approval to qualifying units recognizing them as an effective way to reduce airborne allergens like dust, pet dander and cigarette smoke.
Germicidal protection
In the Ionic Breeze also has germicidal protection that helps to kill a wide variety of airborne bacteria, mold and viruses that circulate into the unit. This ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) technology has been used for decades in hospitals, health-care clinics, the food industry and elsewhere to reduce bacteria, mold and viruses. Viruses are especially susceptible to destruction by brief exposure to UVC light
Fresh indoor air without stirring up the dust
To freshen the air, the ionic breeze also generates a small level of ozone to neutralize household odors. Ozone is one of natures most powerful oxidants and germicides known to man. Ozone oxidizes airborne pollutants, then reverts back to oxygen, transforming polluted air to pure and refreshed air. The unit has low airflow ratings so it doe"
