Living Air air cleaners are ionic air purifying systems. Ions are made when atoms gain or lose electrons. The process of ionization causes particles in the air to become electrically charged. These charged particles are then attracted to a collection device. The living air air cleaners are filterless air purifiers. The collection device needs to be cleaned periodically to remove the build up of pollutants.
Living air ionizer and ozone
The living air ionizer is a low level ozone generator. Concern has been raised in recent years about air cleaning systems releasing ozone into the air. Ozone occurs naturally in the environment near waterfalls and after thunderstorms. The fresh smell after a thunderstorm results from ozone being released into the air.
The living air releases low levels of ozone when it’s set on normal air cleaning mode. This machine has a sanitizing mode. When the machine is set on sanitizing mode, higher levels of ozone are released. The company recommends only using the sanitizing mode when no one is in the house.
Ozone filtration systems are more effective at removing mold than any other air cleaner. Mold is a problem in many homes and mold spores can cause allergic reactions or asthma attacks in susceptible people. Once mold has entered your home, it can be nearly impossible to get rid of it. Most air cleaners won’t kill the spores; just trap some of them in the filter. Ozone kills mold spores and inhibits its future growth. It’s more effective than bleach for killing spores.
There is some evidence to suggest ionizers kill bacteria in the air, which can lead to illness. Bacteria are subjected to the same charging as other particles in the air. This bacteria is then trapped in the
Living air cleaning systems are effective in larger homes. These air purifiers can clean the air in up to three thousand square feet, making them effective in most homes. These systems remove about ninety nine percent of pollutants such as pollen, dust, animal dander, smoke and dust mites from the air.
Living air purifier systems are slightly larger than most other portable electrostatic air cleaners. You won’t be able to conceal the machine between furniture with this model. A variety of colors are available to match most home décor, including oak, black, almond and walnut. Choose a color to blend your décor with living air air cleaners.
