An air ioniser generates a large quantity of negative ions within the air in a room which chemically attracts positively charged pollution particles. These particle/ion clusters become heavier and gravity causes them to fall to the ground or cling to nearby surfaces (walls, furniture, etc.). They are sometimes visible to the naked eye as they can darken areas where they are concentrated.
The ioniser helps to reduce the quantity of particles suspended in the air in a room. Their job is not to capture or destroy these particles. They will still be present in the room.
As part of the effort to combat COVID-19, air ionisers will concentrate the droplets or contaminated particles within a limited area of your room which would then become a vehicle of contamination.
NatéoSanté decided to use filtration (in particular HEPA) technologies to collect the particles within its air purifier in a zone away from any potential human contact.
In addition to collecting 99.97% of any particles smaller than 3 µm, our professional air purifiers destroy the organic agents (bacteria, viruses, etc.) by using active oxygen and photocatalysis. Unlike air ionisers, which are ineffective against chemical pollutants such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), our purifiers capture and destroy them through the high-density activated carbon filter and its active oxygen and photocatalysis technologies.
