Ionic air purifiers come in a couple different forms. First, you have the standard purely ionic air purifiers. These are the silent, fan-less models that you see advertised on late night television. There is also a new breed of ionic air purifiers that seems poised to completely outstrip the old model.
An ionic air purifier works by negatively charging the air particles surrounding it. These negative particles then clump or group together the smaller dust particles and trap them on a metal grid within the device. There isnt a fan, so there isnt the low hum of a traditional air purifier, but unfortunately, there also isnt the superior air circulation properties.
There is a newer type of hybrid ionic air purifier that incorporates the best of both worlds. These machines use the negative ionic charging in conjunction with a fan-based filtration core to give you the best possible air purification scenario. The very best of these models have a HEPA air filter that can filter out particles of dust as small as .3 microns.
Ionic Air Purifiers Help Respiratory Conditions
Using an ionic air purifier, especially a combination unit, can greatly ease indoor allergies. These machines can filter out pet dander, smoke, dust, and dust mites. They also can get rid of airborne pathogens that include various bacteria, viruses and fungi.
