Ionizer

An ionizer is a machine that uses high voltage electric current, to produce tiny charged particles called ions. These charged particles are then released into the air. These ions are either positively or negatively charged atoms or molecules. Ions basically attract particles of opposite charge and latch onto them. Such particles can be smoke, pollen or bacteria. Most ionizers use high voltage currents on special needles to create such 'ions'. As the ions are thrown out of the machine at a high velocity, they cling to all types of particles such as dust, cigarette smoke, pollen, aerosol propellants, and even car fumes. When these ions attach themselves to such particles, they become heavy and start falling to the ground. Typically ionizers would also have a suction mechanism to suck these ions back in and filter all collected pollutants. This ability to clear the air of microscopic particles makes the ionizer a necessity in modern times. With health hazards, including asthma, bronchitis, and other allergies, rising due to environmental pollution, an ionizer is one of the most sought after appliances today. Even scientific research has observed the positive effects of ions on human beings. Increase in negative ions in human body leads to better concentration and alertness due to an increase in the absorption and utilization of oxygen in the body. A Water Ionizer works in a similar manner by dividing tightly bound water molecules into smaller chunks. Drinking water acquired from a Water Ionizer helps the body to easily absorb water and other minerals. An ionizer helps increase resistance to common colds and provides a shield against environmental irritants, thus encouraging an upbeat attitude. Popular Indoor Room Air Purifier brands include IQAir HealthPro and Hunter QuietFlo, Surround Air, Whirlpool, Honeywell. These cover a larger area compared to other smaller gadgets, such as portable ionizers from NexxTech, RoadPro, Sunpentown, Fujitronic, and Ionic Pro, which run either on batteries or the car cigarette lighter socket.
