The Benefits of Ionic Air Purifiers

There are many different types of air cleaners and purifiers on the market today. Ionic air purifiers represent some of the most advanced and effective models available. A highly publicized scientific study has shown that the air in most homes and workplaces is five times more contaminated than the air outdoors. Because you cannot see the majority of the contaminants in the air, you have no idea how filthy the air inside your home really is!

Ionic technology was first discovered and researched during the 1970's by the Swiss Meteorological Institute. In a nutshell, they found that living things respond to negatively charged ions in a variety of positive ways. It was shown that humans exhibited more alert and relaxed behavior, plants grew faster and more bountiful, and even laboratory animals were able to do better on their tasks. This same concept has been applied to ionic air purifiers. Let's take a look at how these purifiers operate:

An ionic air purifier releases a stream of negative ions, which then negatively charge airborne particles like dust, dander, allergens, mites, smoke and more. The negatively charged particles then become so heavy that they float to the ground and settle on positively charged surfaces. Then, you can dust or vacuum the surfaces to remove the particles. Some ionic air purifiers can also lure and trap the particles so they do not settle on your furniture and floors.

One of the most popular ionic air purifiers is the Ionic Breeze offered by The Sharper Image (http://www.sharperimage.com/). There are various Ionic Breeze models from which you can choose, from small tabletop models to larger floor models. The best seller is the Original Ionic Breeze Quadra, which costs around $349.95. It works silently and has no pesky filters to replace or change. One of these purifiers is sufficient for an average sized room of about 500 square feet. Low energy use and Ozone guard are just a few features of this highly popular air purifier.

Whether you choose an Ionic Breeze or another one of the many ionic air purifiers on the market, you can be assured that you're taking a step towards cleaner air and better health. Whether you have a smoker in the house, a pet, a person with allergies or none of the above, ionic air purifiers offer a variety of benefits.
