When it comes to air purification, ionizers are not the best choice. Ozone, a lung irritant, is both directly and indirectly produced by ion generators and other electronic air filters. This direct introduction of a lung irritant into indoor air is a major cause for concern and should be avoided. An air ionizer is a device that releases negative ions into the air.
These negative ions attach to small particles, such as those found in tobacco smoke. While ionizers can help remove smaller molecules, such as bacteria and viruses, they are not effective at removing larger particles from circulation. Instead, they charge them to attach to something else. This means that unless you regularly clean the hard and soft surfaces in your home, it becomes difficult to remove particles that have fallen to the floor. Ionizers are not good purifiers because they are too weak to produce an effect.
They also generate hazardous ozone and PM2.5, which can be detrimental to your health. Furthermore, they may not benefit people with allergies or asthma. In conclusion, it is best to stay away from being in a room with an ionizer due to the potential health risks associated with them. If you are looking for an effective air purifier, it is best to look for one that does not produce ozone or other lung irritants.
