include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet dander and
pollen.
How Does The Ionizer Work?
Negative ions help air purification by attaching
themselves to very small airborne particles in the room.
These particles take on a negative charge and may join
with positively charged particles such as dust, pollen,
smoke, and pet dander to form larger particles. These
larger particles are then more easily captured by the
filter system.
