An ionic air purifier provides effective protection from airborne particles, including dust, smoke and mould spores in the home. Ionisation is when an electrical current passes through a gas to produce negative and positive ions.
An ioniser then uses this enhanced electric field to collect and trap these tiny particles on electrically charged metal plates or filter material, thereby reducing their presence in the air you breathe. This type of air purification helps reduce allergens such as pet dander, pollen, dust mites and other pollutants that can irritate sensitive respiratory systems like asthma sufferers or those with allergies.
In addition to trapping airborne particles, an ionic air purifier also offers protection against harmful gaseous compounds such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which are often found indoors due to fumes from paint, glue or even household cleaning products.
