Are Air Purifiers that have a negative ion generator safe to use?Updated a year ago

The negative ion generator releases negative ions into the air to eliminate air-borne bacteria and contaminants. The negative ions bind to and neutralise airborne pollutants for a cleaner environment.

To be more specific, with a negative ion Air Purifier, the purifier creates negative oxygen atoms, which are also known as ions. The Air Purifier then releases the ions into the surrounding atmosphere. Negative ions occur naturally around large bodies of moving water such as waterfalls and rivers.

Air Purifiers with negative ion generators are completely safe, and don't pose a threat to people or animals, even if you spend long periods of time in the same room as the appliance.

Uncertainty often arises around their safety due to negative ion generators being confused with ozone generators. Ozone generators emit high levels of ozone that can be bad for your health, but negative ion generators don't produce ozone.
