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.

While the ideals of eating right and exercising every week are great for helping improving the overall health, there are additional things that can be done to improve your overall health. Just cleaning up the quality of the air you breathe is a major step in the direction. Many do not realize that the quality of air in their home can greatly affect their overall health.

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.

There are many benefits of ionizer technology including the fact that you don’t have to use any type of chemical, no type of perfumes, and no filters will be needed (which can be very costly.) But, the ionizer will work for you on all elements in the air including pollutants, bacteria, fungi, and molds that are lurking in the air that you are breathing in.

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.
