Ionizers are devices that use negative ions to remove small particles from the air, helping to reduce odors and make the air appear fresher. This process is known as air ionization, and it can be used to purify the air in a room. The mist disappears from the air after 7 minutes, and germs are eliminated after 2-3 hours. A study that combined bright light therapy with negative ionization of low or high density air found that members of the group that used bright morning light therapy combined with negative ionization of high-density air showed the greatest improvement in symptoms of seasonal affective disorder.
The results suggested that negative air ionization improved symptoms of both seasonal depression and chronic depression, so when ionizers produced higher production, they also better purified the air of smaller particles. The operating principle of an air ionizer is based on a special emitter that creates an ionizing field through which dirty air passes. This field is responsible for removing particles from the air, making it cleaner and fresher. There are several products on the market that use ionizers to purify the air.
The Sunpentown SH-1508 ceramic tower heater has an ionizer and an air filter to keep the air warm and breathable, while the Sunpentown SF-610 evaporative air cooler has an ionizer in its oxygen bar. The Sunpentown microcomputer fan also uses an ionic air purifier to cool you down as it cools. Ionized air has many benefits, including improved mental health, better sleep quality, enhanced respiratory health, reduced allergies and asthma symptoms, static electricity reduction in the home, and reduced odors. It can also make the air appear fresher.
