Ozone-Ionizer air purifiers do not clean the air of dust and allergens by filtration like HEPA filtered air cleaners do. Ozone/ionizer air purifiers use two steps to clean the air. The ozone purifies the air by oxidation. Ozone is a naturally occurring gas. It is created by nature when lightning cuts through the oxygen molecules in the air. It splits the O2 molecule into O3 which becomes ozone. These ozone-ionizer air purifiers work the same way when air is passed through an electrically charged ozone plate. The current passes through the oxygen in the air splitting the oxygen into O3 {ozone} The fresh clean after a thunderstorm smell the ozone-ionizer air purifier produces is the ozone that has just been created. The ozone penetrates into the cellular structure of odor, bacteria and fungus molecules, rupturing the cell wall of the contaminant. After this process is complete, the contaminants and odors are then oxidized and greatly reduced.
The second step in this system is the ionization. There are two types of ionization. The first and more common is needlepoint ionization where the particulates blowing out of the air purifier are charged with negative ions. These ionic charges attach to airborne particles such as smoke, dust, pollen, Dust-Mite allergen and animal dander. These dust particles and allergens are forced to quickly drop out of suspension in the air and out of the breathing environment and down to the ground to be vacuumed later. Needlepoint ionizers usually cover a five to seven foot area in the general area of the ionizer. The second type of ionizer is called radio ionization. Radio ionization is a newer technology that uses similar principles as needlepoint ionization except that the radio ionizer uses a specialized and safe radio wave that ionizes the air for approximately 50 feet right through the walls in all directions. With radio ionization, you can actually drop particles out of the air in surrounding rooms or areas. One unit can often cover an entire home.
