Cindy-Monkeybone 1 Report post Posted January 25, 2008 Hi,I am thinking of getting this for a new flat where dust can be seen flying all around. Please let me know your comment ! Greatly appreciated..FunctionsABM Air Purifier is able to produce a “scrubbing” effect on the air. Using ABM BIO AIR Essential Oil alongside is highly recommended as it enhances the end-results. It helps to kill harmful airborne bacteria, virus and fungi. Also, it neutralizes odours and produce health-care effects.

Cindy-Monkeybone 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Hi Mace and Xlan,That's really expensive. $800 ++I am looking into stuff that can create negative ions. Which brand do u have in mind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

little_sunshine 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Are these air purifier, not those mentioned by the thread starter, only for air-con environment? Can use in non air-con environment?Any air purifier will only be able to purify air in a controlled envoirnment. It would be impossible to do it for whole wide world!Hi Mace and Xlan,That's really expensive. $800 ++I am looking into stuff that can create negative ions. Which brand do u have in mind?Hi cindy,Why do want negative ions? The only use of negative ions is supposed to cause the dust to stick to somewhere for a short time. At the end of the day, it is still there and not removed. After the charge comes off, the dust will fly off into the air again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cindy-Monkeybone 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Negative Ions has many benefits and one of the reason that u feel very fresh after visiting the beaches and forest is the existence of abundant negative ions. I have included a more detailed information as below. What is Negative Ion and Air Ionizer?Air ionizing appliances can improve the health of human beings. It purifies air by generating negative ions. Negative ions occur naturally near waterfalls and after heavy thunderstorms and have the effect of cleaning the air. The negative ions are attracted to positively charged dust and smoke particles. These new heavier combined particles then fall out of the air leaving purified air.Why negative ions are essential to living things?Ions are natural particles in the air that have either a positive or negative charge. They get this charge by either losing or gaining an electron. Negative ions are the good ones. They attach themselves to airborne particles such as dust, pollen, smoke and dander, causing them to drop from the air.Nature provides both positive and negative ions in abundance, but when it comes to feeling good, it's the negative ions that are important.The best natural generator for negative ions is lightning, followed by ocean surf and waterfalls. Negative ions are also abundant in mountains and forests, since all plants give off some ions. In clean, natural air, you'll find very high concentrations of negative ions.Negative Ions can be actively produced by high-voltage electricity run through metal needles (needlepoint ionization). Needlepoint ionization is by far the most effective way to produce high volume negative ions. However, negative ions have a very short life (2 - 6 minutes) and die before they can circulate completely throughout a dwelling. Also, some high-powered ion generator will produce what has been termed black wall, a black dust that settles on surfaces, in particular around the ion generator. The Surround Ionizers have overcome the black wall problems, but negative ionizers do have other limiting factors. An oxidation technology that uses germicidal ultraviolet light produces enough negative ions to be beneficial in removing airborne particulates in a surrounding area and in helping change the ion balance in that environment, but without creating black wall.Negative ions purify the air by magnetically attracting to pollutants until these newly formed larger particles become too heavy to remain in the air you breathe. These fallen particles are typically collected by your normal cleaning activities. However, when cleaning these fallen particles, it is recommended that you use a slightly wet towel or mop to wipe the walls and floors BEFORE using a vacuum cleaner. In this way, you can avoid growing molds and its smell in the room, which may cause sicknesses. The most important thing, though, is that they are taken out of the air, preventing you from inhaling them into your lungs, which can cause sicknesses such as allergies and asthma.

MaCe 3 Report post Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) What is Negative Ion and Air Ionizer?cindy get maier or neotec. there may be dust collected at the metal plate but can easily clean it off every few mths.http://www.neotecstore.com/there is a shop at thomson plaza ground floor below KFC selling lots of different types of air cleaners.if you are into germicide can DIY a UV lamp for under $40. I did one for my pet room years back.The same type of UV used in surgical theatres - every day switch on 3-4 hours, all germs 99.9% deep fried.but must shine upwards and out of sight(human), dangerous to eyes, skin...
