Ionizing air purifiers

At first they were expensive, noisy and little ecological. Today, ionizing air purifiers They are intended to clean the air we breathe, and are integrated into our interiors to effectively combat domestic pollution and allergies.

Originally used in the industry and hospitals, air purifiers had many difficulties to be implemented in private homes: the first devices were heavy, noisy and quite expensive. Over time, increasing pollution, the exponential increase in cases of allergy and a greater attention to air quality, caused many manufacturers to try to conceive more discreet devices to try to respond to demand. A new generation of purifiers air appeared, involving, in addition to air filtration, a system of ionization, which until now was different from purification.

Unfortunately, these devices produced a significant contamination electromagnetic, and above all ozone pollution, which even in small quantities, was dangerous to health. Except for replacement of air filters, the cost was prohibitive for most of the homes. In recent years, manufacturers have carried out real research to develop devices without emissions of ozone and… without air filter.

The principle of purifiers ionizers Classics is simple: most use the high efficiency particulate air filter system (HEPA or high efficiency particulate filter), one hundred times finer than ordinary filters and which have a real efficiency over the contamination domestic. Increasingly important in the city, this is due to the presence of millions of suspended particles emitted by vehicle exhaust gases, household cleaning products, construction and decoration materials, pollens, viruses and bacteria, not counting smoke from cigarettes.

This contamination domestic It has recently been denounced by consumer associations that point it out as the cause of many cases of allergies, respiratory difficulties, problems cardiovascular, and even cancer.

La part ionizing, generates negative ions that allow suspended particles to amalgamate. Heavier, they fall to the ground where they are captured by the filter. The ions negative have another advantage: they are beneficial to health and have an effect stress.
