Air filters that clean the air by accelerating the chemical process of oxidation are harmfull to many people. This is why so many are complaining of air filters increasing their problems/symptoms.
The chemical reactions during this process affect the body at a cellular level and cause oxidative stress. This creates difficulty for the body to correctly regulate the immune response and the inflammatory process goes out of control.

Hepa + active carbon are the only filters that should be recommended without an extensive study of exactly what it is that needs cleaning from the air and at what concentrations.
These filters take the primary pollutants out of the air, so there is no chemical reaction that transforms them into secondary pollutants.

I made a CRbox out of Ikea E12 filters + their carbon filter. No ionizers. I get sore throat and sneeze more often whenever it is running.

My wife used one on her bedside table to keep her cool at night, however, I started getting terrible nosebleeds that ran like a tap. As soon as we ceased using it my nosebleeds ceased.

I want one cause I have allergies stuffy nose all the time
But I suffer from dryness and worry it’ll make air drier

Maybe it's not safe to run the ionizer to run all the time

We just started using brand new hepa filter air purifiers which had #1 recommendation from NYT. Now the only time I’m not nauseated is when I go outside. Something isn’t right.

I leave my purifier on at night. I notice I cough more and there's a layer of dust on my items... I think it just spreads dust

Hi thanks for the videos. I'm concerned about asthma but can't find any definitive information and am more confused than ever. Can you tell me where your information on asthma and NI's comes from. I'm looking for credible peer reviewed studies. Thanks

[studentoflife]

The electric ionizers? What about the ionizers made from uvc that dont make ozone?

Hello, I just bought an Ozone air purifier 2-in-1 and it comes with 3 modes. A negative ion mode, Single Ozone+ Negative ion mode, and Cycling Ozone+ Negative ion mode. I only use the negative ion mode, since I heard the dangers of using ozone. It is currently located in my bedroom. Should I remove this device from my room and return it?
Device: Yoassi Plug in Ozone Air Purifier, 2-in-1

Pure 3 in 1 gave me a headache. Will retur it.

[XLV]

Hi how about Air Tamer? They claim as an ozone free. Any comments on this? Thanks

[panosspil]

What about air purifiers with an anion function, could it be harmful or is it a good extra feature to leave on ?

[angelique]

Hi. I’ve recently purchased an air purifier with ionizer. Is it safe to use? Thank you
