A Necklace Air Purifier, such as the AirTamer, is a wearable device designed to create a clean air zone around the user's face. The primary mechanism behind the AirTamer and similar devices is negative ion generation. When switched on, these purifiers emit a stream of negative ions. Here's how they function:
Negative Ions Emission: The device produces and releases millions of negative ions into the air.
Particle Attraction: These negatively charged ions attach themselves to airborne particles like dust, pollen, smoke, and bacteria which are generally positively charged.
Particle Neutralisation: Once bound to the negative ions, these particles are attracted to positively charged surfaces which removes them from the air, away from the user's breathing zone.
It's important to understand that while necklace air purifiers can reduce the number of particles you breathe in, their efficiency also depends on factors like the surrounding air quality, the number of ions emitted, and potential interference from clothing or hair, and whether they are used indoors or outdoors.
