Air purifier ionizer is a big draw these days with allergic people despite criticism. Apparently it is common knowledge that most of the respiratory and pulmonary allergies are triggered by allergens such as dust, dirt, and pet dander and mold spores. It is also equally well known that indoor air is concentrated with allergens than outdoors because of recirculation due to cooling or heating, moisture which encourages mold, mold spore growth and pets etc.

Air purifier ionizer is a small device that works similar to an air filter but has an electronic setup that ionizes air molecules and particulate air that passes through. It helps anyone that is allergic and is hard of breathing air concentrated with allergens.

Now, let us see how the ionizer air purifier actually works. The equipment has a set of electrically charged plates through which air is made to pass and when it does, the air molecules, which are electrically neutral, are bombarded by the free flowing negative ions which in turn knock off electrons from neutral air molecules or they just attach to them. So, when electrons are knocked off the air molecules get positively charged being short of negative electron or if on the other hand they attach themselves, become negatively charged. Now we have two types of ions flowing freely in air along with similarly charged dust particles or molds or even animal dander.

The air purifier ionizer, having ionized air and particulate matters- the allergens- has accomplished two things.

It has prepared the allergens to precipitate within the system andThe increased weight of dust or dander, due to attachment with ions will separate out

Ionic air purifiers provide relief from asthma by circulating clean air. The air purifier ionizers are tested, and reviewed for dependable performance and ensured that all allergens are removed from the room it is placed. In addition, apart from providing electric precipitation to provide relief in allergy they make use of HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter which is a good odor remover.

Air purifier ionizer is available everywhere in the market and will cost anywhere from $175 to $700. The main cost criterion is the total area of the room or the volume of the room it has to clean. By the rule of thumb, a small air purifier ionizer will handle a room of 250 Sft while a bigger one, an area of over 600 Sft.

Sometimes the air purifier ionizer also comes with an inbuilt ozonizing unit and the combination of ozone with ionization renders a fresher smell. While buying an air purifier ionizer ask for its performance test report. Each air purifier ionizer is tested for particulate air count. After all, you can't put to risk the health of your loved ones.
