Thanks for sharing!
*The two units I purchased work great. **Fastly.Cool** and air purifier perfectly this machine The filters are definitely collecting dust! I contacted Levoit directly for a minor issue, and received exceptional customer service!*

My one reads a 12ppm unless the deep fryer is on in the house so what it's supposed to have a o5 otherwise don't turn it on?
i have a sharp ionic breeze quadra,is it safe?it smells funny kinda like a bleach smell,is that smell safe?
Thank you. You are a life saver. ❤️❤️
Does anyone know if some PCO or more specifically the newer AHPCO technology is safe? I know about the ozone situation, but I hear people saying the PCO technology gives off Hydroxl radicals and this is dangerous. Any truth to this?
can negative ion generator destroy electrical devices/equipemts? such as TV, CP, Laptop Computers?
How is O’zone bad for us what are damages it can do to us?
Hi. Thanks for sharing this video. It really helps me to be mindful in purchasing an air purifier. I have a question. I work as a cook, is it safe to use an ionic air purifier necklace while I am working as a cook?
It could be but it likely won't do much for you in that setting.
@@HomeAirGuides Hi. Thank you for the response. I appreciated it a lot.
You might thinking that because I am a cook, I am not facing other people. In the kitchen there are food prep, food server, etc. I am cautious with the people surrounds me. Just trying to be safe from this covid. Even we know the person arounds us, we never know if he or she has a covid. Since there are people who are positive in covid that don't have symptoms at all. That is why, even if I am wearing mask, for additional protection, I am using air purifier.
Just wondering if it is safe to use an air purifier near to a heat source like stove, oven. etc. Thank you.
What about the dust that gets weighed down and tends to accumulate on surfaces. If we breathe that in as it's falling, how much would be considered too much? And how dangerous would it be?
The dust is in the air already so that's got to be worse breathing that In consistently
They are bad if they produce ozon, like smog in the cities. This is measured at lab. Ions in it self has no harm. Then again, it's better to get out for a walk, or a swim in the ocean, playing in the rain, or just simply, get a shower.
Veritasium did a rest on Ionic Air Purifiers and yes, they produced excessive amount of ozone.
Needlepoint and carbon brush ionizers produce minimal ozone. I am surprised more air purifiers don't include them, as they can help an air filter capture smaller particles without reducing the clean air delivery rate.
Thanks for the info!
Mine says it complies with the federal ozone emissions limit and is ARB certified. What does that mean?
Do you have reviews for car air ionizer and purifier?
We do not. We only focus on home air quality.
I see that daikin produces their purifiers with plasma ionizer , are they safe or they generate ozone?
A nice explanation in limited time ..gud sister keep it up
Thank you for watching and letting us know how much you enjoyed the video.

I got a castaway mini ionizer air filter...it's my first time..so I'm wondering if the funky metallic smell it's a regular thing and if having it next to my bed or me is it safe?please do tell thank you
We haven't heard of the castaway brand, but ionizers can emit a smell.
@The King well shit good to know. Relatives bought an ionizer for the house one time, and I loved sniffing the air that came out of it. Sometimes I just sat there for a while smelling the air in the room. I dunno if it was the placebo effect or the ozone messing me up. To the bin you go.
Yeah I figured these were too good to be true. I'll stick to true hepa filter purifiers instead and live with having to replace the filter every now and then.
The radiation those give off
Is the ionic pro turbo safe ? It says 0.050 parts per million also says that is within 24hr period of running then saysbased onan averaging time 8hrs is 0.020 so is this one safe ? Or not and is it safe to run 24hrs a day?
Here is a good article that explains this for you: ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2017-08/acrfactsheet.pdf
hello, im using a bipolar ionization wearable for my 1 year old baby. it says less than 5x10(6)% ozone content. is this safe for a 1 year old? thanks
Hi, I hope you can help me since I’m new to air purifiers. I have asthmatic sons and want to buy purifiers. But most of the brands you featured on your channel are not readily available here in our country. We have a popular brand of purifier here and saw this on the description i dunno what this means - “Negative Ion: 20 million pcs/ cm3” they also use uv lamp. do you think its safe to use? Thank you.
Our recommendation is to not get an air purifier that emits negative ions if you have asthma. If the air purifier allows you to turn the feature off, then that is fine. The production of negative ions can cause asthma symptoms to flare in some individuals, that is why it is not recommended. What you want is an air purifier with a True HEPA filter. That filter produces zero byproducts. Try to stay away from ionizers, negative ion generators, and ozone machines.
Thanks for the reply. I dont know why they advertise it as a purifier that is for asthmatic. Been doing a lot of research. Will blueair 411 ok for us?
You could have provided some examples
Mam, radiation is also source of negative ions...
Then why radiation is considered bad?
I’ve completed an in-depth analysis of over 100 “air - purifiers” and tested in over 15 FDA approved labs, results: Best (and actually killed all SARS viruses, mold spores, and fungus) was a unit called ActivePure. We are using in our medical facility also because we must alleviate c-Diff and MRSA.

Do ionizers have any effect on electronics such as laptop and desktop computers? Specifically asking with regards to static electricity
That's a great question but we don't have the answer. A quick Google search can hopefully be helpful.
Ionizers reduce static electricity and are used for that purpose when working with electronics repair.
@The King Ionizers are not a new trend, they've been around for decades and the science of how they work is well established. Ionizers are a safe technology and are used in hospitals to control infectious diseases from spreading.
definitely safe for electronics..i remember i work before in semicon company where we process microchips..they use ionizers to neutralize static electricity.
@The King I have a pollution meter and it detects no levels of ozone in my rooms from either bipolar or negative ionization.
I have used actual ozone generators in the past. They obviously do produce ozone and its unmistakable. But the ozone produced by needlepoint ionizers is insignificant. The amount of corona discharge is just too small with most of these ionizers.
The older Ionic Breeze models which do generate significant ozone through high corona discharge: they have large negatively charged wires and positively charged plates in close proximity, making them electrostatic precipitators, not ionizers.
What do you think of the “Alpine Living Air” purifiers. I have two and was told when I bought them many years ago that they were the best on the market.
Do you believe everything that salesmen tell you?
They're alright, but not a model we recommend - instead try this one amzn.to/3I10K1F
I just got an air purifier that has an ionizer that can be turned on and off independently of the air purifier. So, should the ionizer be on whenever the air purifier is on? How do I know when I should utilize that function? Thanks. Great video and to the point!
Some people don't react well to ionizers, like those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Therefore, you can turn it off if that is the case for you. But if you don't have any issues with the ionizer turn on, then we suggest that you leave it turned on. The ionizer will help the internal filters do a better job at collecting particles.
@@HomeAirGuides Good to know, thanks!
Leave it turned on all the time and it will take more ultrafine particles out of the air. If it produces harmful levels of ozone, you will be able to smell it. Most don't.
I just bought the air purifier ionic pro elite from Envion and says it is ARB certified, is my purifier safe? I’m not sure if it is giving me allergies 🤧
I think you mean CARB not ARB.To be certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), air purifiers must be tested for electrical safety and ozone emissions, and meet an ozone emission concentration limit of 0.050 parts per million. So that means it's safe for your health.
i think it does. from my experience
is aviche personal purifier safe?
We are not familiar with that air purifier model. Check the specifications and make sure they follow these guidelines:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires ozone output of indoor medical devices to be no more than 0.05 ppm. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that workers not be exposed to an average concentration of more than 0.10 ppm for 8 hours.
Hi. Others state emitting 8million, 20million, 100million negative ions or anions. Which is the safest number?
We don't have that exact answer.
@The King thought negative ions or anions are good for the health. Like the ones in the forest, beaches etc
I have a mi air purifier 3/3h, is this unit safe?
Is Ionizer necklace safe to wear daily? Will it harm our health or is it good for our health? For example Airtamer, Ionion, etc.
It won't harm your health because it is a useless waste of money. This whole ion generator thing is a scam.
Hi. I’ve recently purchased an air purifier with ionizer. Is it safe to use? Thank you
Air purifier or ioniser for dental clinics? Can u post review on scitech airon
Air purifier. No harmful side effects for the patients who might have respiratory issues.
Actually scitech airon is more promising, whc is used In Covid centre. Can u jst go throug it
Are yhe Clarifon products safe and effective? I've seen plug ins that are expensive and also a much ln larger unit for a counter, but it may not be an ionizer like the plug in is.
We have not reviewed that product in particular. But from a quick glance it seems to be a small ionizer that's good for small rooms like a bathroom.
@@HomeAirGuides I reviewed it on my channel, It's a garbage product.
I haven't read the comments so please forgive me if this has already been answered. Would you recommend Clarifion?
Help to fight against bad Air ionization produced by cloudy days !! Appear excess of Air ionization. But who knows the healthy limits of positive and negative ions ??? Please help.I have neurologic problem and even asthma, which are worsening during cloudy days, like many people. How do we solve problem ? by managing the level of negative and pozitive ions. Thanks. Do You know people that feel help using indoor Air ionization device during cloudy days ?
It would be best if you sought medical advice from a physician.
I purchased a puremate air purifier. Is this a good brand??
We have not reviewed that brand so we cannot comment on it.
@@HomeAirGuides okay. Thank you for reply!
Please watch veritasium's video on negative ions. It's up for debate if negative ions are helpful so I can see why someone would want to have them around, however electric Ionisers that don't produce much ozone won't produce many negative ions, and Ionisers that don't use electricity often use radioactive substances.
Thanks for the tip!
Is it safe to use a personal air purifier (used as necklace) since it is also a Negative Ion Generator?
Generally yes, as long as you don't have any existing respiratory conditions like asthma. Some people feel lung irritation from ionizers who have those types of health problems. Best thing is to give it a try and if you feel any ill effects, stop using it.
that shit fake af
Is the xiaomi air purifier 3c safe?
Yes. The specifications show that it is a filter-based air purifier without an ozone production.
ABSOLUTELY NO ..
BCOZ IT IS CHINESE 💀🇨🇳💀 PRODUCT.
My grandma recommended me the 'EdenPURE Oxileaf II Thunderstorm Air Purifier' and comparing the PPM measurements, EdenPURE cooks up a whooping 0.4 to 0.8 PPM compared to the guidance of 0.05. I was having strong reservations upon buying it beforehand, it seemed like a product too good to be true, but now I'm really turned off about it.
We have not reviewed that air purifier but good for you for doing your research before buying!
that device works great, i used in my basement. but its not for continuous use like a filtration system, or fan, etc. you shock the environment and put it away. think of like fogging a room with bug spray or bleaching your bathroom. you don’t stay in that room when applying such a disinfectant/killing process.
@@tz1494 Thank you, Thank you for that great analogy
@@bencoatney6038 no. It's a bad idea. Ozone which is a heavier gas will remain for a long time at below ground level (basement).
@@tz1494.
Are there any small air purifiers for rooms ?
Yes! See this post homeairguides.com/best-air-purifiers-for-bedroom/
I've been trying to get to the bottom of this. There is no good information. A lot of "can" and "might" nobody really knows.
Why is my ionic breeze Quadra so dirty every month if all the research says it doesn't work?
It is collecting airborne pollutants.
It does work for certain kinds of air pollution, such as ultrafine particles in smoke. The thing is, most people are getting air purifiers to get rid of pollen and dust.
Xiaomi air purifier 3H or 3C generate negative ion ?
The tech specs say no.
Nope its safe no ozone
I was excited to use the blue air 411. Turns out they are using false marketing, they are not using real hepa filters, in fact uses a similar technology to ionizers, something like electrostatic filtration.
Bottom line it is known to be a lung irritant. I found out about it after me and my brother got both sick.
I used it first, one time it fell down it irritated my throat immediately, I didn't want to admit it was caused by the machine so I gave it to my brother, he got sick to. The room he used the machine was very hard to breathe in, the exact opposite of it supposed to do 🙃.
Also has a strong plastic/ gaz smell.
Hello the same happened to me! I was just dx with asthma/COPD so I bought two BluAir 211. Ive been coughing and sneezing more. I called the company and the rep actually lied and said no ionizer in our units! When I asked do you use a True HEPA filter he was beating around the bush! Search YT on how to remove the ionizer in blue air purifiers! They are dishonest!
That smell is probably of Ozone. Don't use it.

We can't comment on the type of ions produced by LED Tvs, lights, etc. That's not our area of expertise.
Do all ionizers produce Ozone? I found one that looks reasonable. Does not claim to produce Ozone. Is is not safe. No Oz ratting for it.
The best thing for you to do is contact the manufacture and ask. It may produce ozone at a very little amount.
I need a air purifier with a filter and necklace
nice promo, waste of time making for the message received. . "this video has the answers"-no it doesn't. Just say look for ppm when buying.
I won't be buying any brand other than Sharp with their Plasmacluster technology. Does not produce ozone as a byproduct. Plus, it's not a negative ionizer, it emits both negative and positive ions which is better than negative ionizers only.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on this!
Its not good i use the sharp plasmacluster too but it makes me sick my asma got worsen and mostly difficult to breathe but if i turned off the plasmacluster i don't feel that anymore
Postive ions are obviously dangerous for lungs because its charged ions
Wouldn't it increase nitrogen in the vicinity?
The Ion Effect is a book that explains the benefits of positive ions vs negative ions.
Thanks for sharing!
Do not believe in pseudoscience without more than a single research to back it up.
I have a very nice air purifier from Costco that has always worked very well and has a UV-C button and a button that says ION on it and think thats to negative ion generator i believe. Last night was a fearful night, i thought i heard a static or continuously sparking noise or something and never noticed that before and am wondering if i should be worried or just ignore it? I am fearful that it could mean that something inside the unit could be making ozone. The other thing nowdays is more things either come from China or are made in China and after everything China has done its nowdays hard to fully know what to believe and what to trust anymore including everyones everyday health and safety. Sometimes you get lucky when buying a product that looks very nice and so fancy and that did not come from China and not made in China but usually nowdays its very hard to fully avoid it. I am not saying that everything that is made or comes from China is bad but nowdays it is extremely hard to fully trust anything from China anymore and you never know for sure.
Can’t trust sellers these days any anybody can drop ship a product steal a description from another product that has best keywords..

"I hope this video helped"? 😂 nothing much was said.. cheers 🙄
Did not help
XD
From experience. Never buy one. If you have asthma, it's a no no. Ionizers can help, but in small amounts in a short period of time. If they have the option to be turned on or off and use HEPA, that's your best bet. But sadly, these tests are done in a lab with outdated tests. Never tested in real homes in the worst or most polluted areas in the world for long periods of time.
