 Air Cleaners & Purifiers
Article by James Moore
In this day and time,
we are finding that many of our physical problems are do to the impurities
ingested by our bodies. Cancer, allergies and a host of other heath problems
are caused by bad water, bad food and bad air. On the subject of bad air, it
used to be thought that it was only outdoor air pollution you had to worry
about. Now there are studies stating that your home can be polluting your body
too. Dust, mold, mildew, dust mites, cleaning chemicals are just a few of the
pollutants in your home. The Horror of it.
Luckily, there are a number
of new products available to eliminate the impurities in your home's air. We
all know about the old hepa filter air cleaners. While they work well and do
the job, there are drawbacks to the technology, noise and filter replacement
cost. We are going to present some products that will address those drawbacks.
The new technology is ionization. Ionization is the act of positively
charging the incoming pollutant particles and collecting them with a negatively
charged grid. Usually, this method uses less power, creates less sound and the
permanent filter can be cleaned over and over. Ionization can collect multiple
types of pollutants from the air. And they are smaller in size too.
  Pure-Ion UV Air Purifier from Brookstone
The Pure-Ion UV
Air Purifier is a quality unit with many advantages. The Pure-Ion is a silent
fan driven unit that pulls a volume of air into it for cleaning. The advatage
of this that it can clean the air faster and more continously than a non-fan
driven unit. This is good for air cleaning larger rooms.
The Pure-Ion
also boasts a UV (ultraviolet) germ killing light to purify against other
airborne biological pollutants, like bacteria, molds, viruses, etc.
A
permanent cleanable filter is provided as the heart of the system for dust and
allergen removal. The Pure-Ion UV Air Purifier is available from Brookstone.

Ionic
Breeze GP Silent Air Purifier with Ultraviolet Germicidal Protection is the big
brother to the Ionic Breeze that started it all. The Ionic Breeze GP features
the same abilities of the Ionic breeze and combines it with a germ-killing
Pilips UVC lamp.
Ionic Breeze circulates air electronically, with no
motor, no fan and no noise. And this feature saves money by using less power.
Ionic Breeze GP cleans and sanitizes the air 24 hours a day on just 28
watts.
The UV lamp helps to kill airborne bacteria, mold spores and
viruses that enter the unit. Effective for 8,000 hours, about 1year. We've used
the old Ionic Breeze for years now and the technology is very effective for an
average room and well built.

Finally, the powered fan in the Environizer is whisper quiet. It has
three speed setting for you to use. The timer built into this unit is a nice
feature allowing you to turn it off after 3, 6 or 10 hours, or to run
