No nitric oxides or nitric acid are produced. UV light also produces a lower concentration of ozone making it easier to dissipate and easier to control the output for safe and effective operation. All of LifeTek s general purpose air purifiers are designed to be run continuously without fear of creating a harmful level of ozone. LifeTek Air Purifiers Ion Production Ions are natural particles in the air that have either a positive or negative charge. Negative ions attach themselves to airborne particles such as dust, pollen, smoke and dander and drop them from the air.
Needlepoint ionization is by far the most effective way to produce high volume negative ions.
Plus a high powered ion generator will produce what has been termed black wall . This is a black dust that settles on surfaces and in particular around the ion generator. Understanding the limiting factors of negative ion production, the LifeTek unit s ultraviolet light produces enough negative ions to be beneficial in removing airborne particulates in a surrounding area and in helping change the ion balance in that environment, but without creating black wall. It has been established that UV light will destroy the viruses, bacteria, and fungi in air passing in its path. The LifeTek Air Purifiers use a high intensity germicidal ultraviolet lamp with a high purity fused quartz glass for maximum output.
