| Ionic
purifiers or electrofilters
are a good means of purifying air of dust and soot.
They do not provide protection of toxic contaminants,
such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, formaldehyde
and other harmful gaseous compounds. Moreover ionic
purifiers produce ozone, which five times more toxic
than the carbon monoxide. Formed by an electric
discharge in oxygen, ozone is in fact a b oxidizing
agent, which may cause serious respiratory ailments,
such as bronchitis and asthma. |
| Ozone generation in
ionic purifiers is caused by a high-voltage purifying
element. In North America the ionic filtration technology
is mainly introduced by the Bionaire and Honeywell
brands; the Russian electrofilter market is represented
by the “Super-Plus” model and by purifiers equipped
with the Daikin (Japan) ionic filters. One of the
main disadvantages of the “Super-Plus” purifiers
is that they produce ozone right from the start
of their operation. |
The
so-called “Chizhevsky Chandelier” is another example
of the ionic filtration technology. While standard
ionic filters trap dust particles, the “Chizhevsky
Chandelier” devices leave the dust precipitate on
walls and ceilings of a room they operate in. This
makes them absolutely not applicable for use in
non-industrial premises.
