In modern megacities, the degree of environmental pollution is high. Therefore, more and more city dwellers are acquiring a home air purifier-ionizer. It has gained distribution in the market, as its benefits have long been proven by experts and appreciated by consumers. What it consists in, the pros and cons of the device, as well as the best models will be discussed in detail in the article.

General information about air ionizer cleaners and where they are used
The ionizer cleaner is a device that removes harmful substances from the air and spreads negatively charged ions in the room.
In order to verify its beneficial effects, it is necessary to analyze the very concept of ionization.
This is a process that occurs naturally in nature using lightning or cosmic radiation. Thanks to him, the air is so “light” in mountainous areas, coniferous forests and on the coast.
In the city there is no direct interaction with natural sources of ionization. In addition, this effect nullifies the work of factories, exhaust gases of vehicles, electrical appliances.
According to researchers, the rate of ions in enclosed spaces is 15 times lower than normal. As a result, working capacity decreases, metabolism is disturbed, cardiovascular diseases and bronchial asthma develop. Therefore, we resort to special indoor appliances or appliances that can solve this problem.
The principle of operation of the device
For home use air purifiers with a built-in corona ionizer. As a result of its appearance on the electrodes, to which a voltage of tens of thousands of volts is applied, ions are formed.
Dust, cigarette smoke, harmful microbes and bacteria under the influence of the device receive a charge and begin to gradually move in the direction of the positive electrode, where they settle. In its quality are walls, ceiling, floor, etc. Thus, the air is cleaned of pollution.
The room is also enriched with air ions, which determine the exchange between the body and the air sphere.
Internal and external blowers are used to spread ionized air.
In addition, the design of the device includes protective devices that ensure safety during its operation.
The principle of operation of the ionizer cleaner is not difficult, but in order for it to last a long time, you need to know some rules for its use.
Basic rules of operation
In general, the principles of using an air purifier with an ionizer are simple and understandable. Below is a list of basic operating rules.
- First of all, you need to determine the location of the device. This should be the area where the person is a large amount of time. Experts recommend choosing an area near a table, chair or bed.
- During operation of the device, you need to close all windows and leave the room for 15 minutes.
- It should also be borne in mind that when working on it and other surfaces, a large amount of dust sits. Therefore, cleaning should be carried out as often as possible. The device itself must be wiped with a soft cloth saturated with a special detergent.
- An air purifier with an ionizer does not replace ventilation because it does not produce oxygen. This should not be forgotten and carried out regularly.
- If bleeding from the nose, headache or irritability appears when using the device, it is necessary to stop its use for at least a day.After that, the operating time of the device should be reduced or increased distance to it.
- It is forbidden to smoke near the air purifier, because this can lead to the development of respiratory diseases.
It is imperative to adhere to all of the above recommendations. Then the device will only bring benefits.
Useful and harmful effects of the device on the body
Experts have proved that purified and ionized air has a beneficial effect on the brain, the cardiovascular system, and the body's immunity. In addition, appetite improves, fatigue decreases, sleep normalizes.
The use of the device is recommended for suffering from respiratory diseases, resists the development of allergic reactions, and reduces the likelihood of acute respiratory infections. It also reduces the harmful effects of electrical appliances such as a computer and television.
But sometimes this device can be harmful. Namely: people with pulmonary emphysema, diseases of the central nervous system, pneumonia or bronchial asthma. In case of arthritis and cerebrovascular accident, the use of an air purifier with ionization function is also contraindicated.
It should be noted that the electromagnetic field that is formed during operation of the device adversely affects household appliances.
In rooms with high humidity, it is also not recommended to use these devices. Since this causes the growth of heavy air ions adversely affecting human health.
If the negative factors of the influence of ionizer cleaners are not dangerous to your health, then you just need to decide on the appropriate device model.
The main criteria for choosing an air purifier with an ionizer
In order not to make a mistake with the choice, experts recommend paying attention to the following parameters:
- The size of the room the device is designed for. A high-performance device will supersaturate the air of a small room with ionic particles. Consequently, it will be difficult to be in it. Therefore, it is necessary to select the best option for the house in accordance with the dimensions.
- Timer and information indicator. These functions allow you to configure the duration of the air cleaner and control the concentration of ions in the air.
- Filter. Most models have electrostatic or HEPA filters. They attract all the dirt, making the device more efficient.
- The level of noise generated. If this factor is important, then devices operating in the "ion wind" mode can be purchased. They are almost silent.
- Fan. This device can significantly improve the diffusion properties of the device.
In air purifiers with ionization, it is not necessary to have a large number of functions, it is enough to correctly correlate the tasks of the device with its capabilities.
