- Do you need to worry about ozone?
- What is ozone gas anyway?
- Do you need a fan in ionic air purifiers?
The technology that ionic air purifiers use is really no mystery. Who hasn't fooled around with static electricity before, by doing things like rubbing their feet on a carpet or a balloon on their head. Particles in the air simply receive a charge, then are attracted to metal plates that have an opposite charge.
Fan or No Fan? - That is the Question
Understand this though. That is that unless an ionic air purifier has a fan in it, it just won't move a heck of a lot of air. Yes there will be some air movement, as a result of the ionic effect on air molecules passing through the machine but nowhere near what a fan can produce.
What About Ozone and Ionic Air Purifiers?
Ionic air purifiers that produce ozone as a byproduct have also been the source of a lot of news in recent years. In spite of its odd sounding name, ozone is not some sort of poisonous gas. It's merely three oxygen atoms that have joined together to form one molecule called an ozone molecule.
It's Probably Nothing You Have to Worry About
Ozone is a powerful oxidant and it is directly responsible for the odor killing effects of ionic air purifiers. However; because it is such a powerful oxidant, it can cause irritation in the lining of respiratory passages, particularly in people with preexisting conditions such as asthma or bronchitis.
Why All the Hype About Ozone?
Smaller air purifiers shouldn't be a problem though. Even so, it's small animals and plants that are the most at risk from increased ozone levels. Be aware that much of the hype concerning ozone and ionic air purifiers is just that hype. It's promoted by makers of non ozone producing units.
