What an Air Purifier can do for you

Ions are oxygen atoms with an extra electron which gives them a negative charge. They are created by sunlight entering the upper atmosphere, lightening, waterfalls, ocean waves, and plants. They purify the air because their negative charge causes them to bind with dust and pollution in the air so these particles fall to the ground.

Ions are abundant in nature, but in cities where air pollution levels are high, ion levels drop significantly.  When you spend time in nature, lots of ions enter your blood stream via your breathing and your mood quickly improves. In cities where pollution depletes ions, it becomes harder to maintain a positive outlook. An ion meter measures the levels of ions in the air.

People at greatest risk are those with respiratory disease, asthma, cardiovascular disease, the elderly, children, and smokers.

Using an ionizer in your home, car, and business significantly reduces your exposure to air pollution making you more energized, alert and positive. Ionizers clean the air of dust, pollen, animal dander, cigarette smoke, and other pollutants.

In the home, an ionizer is best placed in the main living area such as the living room, family room or den. If you have allergies, you'll need an ionizer with an hepa air filter. The hepa filter completely removes these unwanted particles from the air.

For people with respiratory, immune system, and depression problems, use a sleep ionizer next to your bed while sleeping. They put out "mega amounts" of ions next to your bed which you breath in while sleeping.

In your car, dust and smoke levels are particularly high which can really irritate your eyes, nose, throat and lungs. A car ionizer is the best way to counter this assault on your health. You will have more patience while driving and arrive at your destination in a more stable mood.

For air travel, you can get a necklace-style ionizer that is worn around your neck. This protects you from the germs that may be in recycled air aboard the aircraft.

One of the side benefits of using an ionizer is they also produce trace amounts of ozone under .05 ppm (parts per million) which assists to kill germs and gives the room a fresh smell. Ozone levels at the seashore and in the forest are about .05 ppm.

For special needs such as chemical fumes (fresh paint, new carpet, chemical odors), dust mites, mold, fungus... you will need an ozonator, a device that produces ozone.

Ozone has three oxygen atoms (regular oxygen has two such atoms) and acts quickly to stabalize severe odors from chemical fumes and kills dust mites, mold and fungus. Use an ozonator in a room with closed windows and doors for two hours or more. Make sure no one or any household pets are in the room, and remove any house plants. Air out the room afterwards by opening the doors and windows.

Ozonators are small portable units which can be used in a new car to get rid of the "new car" smell. Or, it can be used in an old car to get rid of unwwanted smoke and food odors left by the previous owner.  After painting a room, ozonators can remove the smell of fresh paint, or, in a bathroom to zap mold or fungus. In a bedroom to get rid of dust mites. Ozonators stop or stabilize a variety of odious smells and fumes.

It is best to get an ozonator which is "super-efficient" which produces poly-chain ozone called arans.  Arans are oxygen molecules which contain more than three atoms of oxygen such as O4, O5, O6, O7... This type of ozone is much more efficient.
