Inside the IonLife - an exploded view

 

Polluted air is drawn in by the fan and purified through the following five stage filtration system.

 

A. HEPA Filter (white): Highest standard of micro filtration available in a replaceable filter. Traps particles like allergens, pollen, dust, smoke, pet dander and etc.
B. Photo-catalyst Filter (Grey): Latest absorbent filtration now being installed by airlines to overcome in-flight lethargy. Brakes down poisonous fumes, e.g. formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia into CO2 and H2O Eliminates cigarette smoke and other odors.
C. UV Light Eliminates viruses, germs, bacteria and fungal spores.
D. Activated carbon filter (black): Absorbs smoke and stale odours.
E. Negatively charged oxygen ion generator Creates healthy, energizing air, using new long-life carbon brush technology Improves the air quality by combining with dust or reacting with odor molecules.

 

Latest Technology Ion Generator

The IonLife implements carbon fibre technology within the ion generator, which replaces the traditional use of needles common to other ion emitters.

Although needles are effective as ion emitters, oxygen blunts them rapidly leaving you with an ineffective ionizer after only 3 months of evening use alone. Needle replacement is fiddle-some and of course adds considerably to the total cost of ownership. Many customers simply continue using their ionizer despite its redundancy.

The carbon fibre technology used in the IonLife has a life-span of over 2 years under continuous use.

 

 

Why Do I need a Filter as well as an Ionizer?

 

When you use an ionizer only, it causes particulate in the air to become attracted to each other. As this happens, the particles get larger, until, due to a combination of weight and atomic attraction, they either settle onto the nearest surface or wall. It's not immediately noticeable, but within a year you are going to have a layer of black 'soot' on walls and surfaces - assuming you don't regularly wipe them.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that a large amount of airborne particulate is petrochemical in origin. This means that as it settles on wood, or painted surfaces, it seeps into them. By the time you realise, it's too late.

The second very important point is the issue of clean air in general. An Ionizer does not, contrary to all the sales blurbs, clean air, it merely causes particulate to settle, leaving cleaner air in its place. Unfortunately every single negative ion only has the ability to unite with a single opposite charge positive ion. There is NO SHORTAGE of positive ion 'spacejunk' in our house and car air. This means that beneficial small negative ions are highly unlikely to ever reach you for ingestion. However if the unit incorporates a fan and an efficient air filter such as a HEPA, the story is very different.

In this case, the air is drawn into the unit and particles trapped BEFORE ionization. The Ionized purified air is released from the filter/ionizer and is readily available for ingestion because the negative ions are in a clean air stream.

 

There has never been a better unit with more comprehensive lifesaving features than the IonLife FreshAir

Airborne Bacteria

Bacteria grow in a wide variety of habitats and conditions. Much of our experience with bacteria involves disease, though some bacteria live on or in the human body and prevent disease. Bacterial parasites that cause disease are called pathogens. Some dramatic bacterial killers are Cholera, Tuberculosis, and Legionnaires Disease. perhaps less dramatic but still as relevant today, Influenza Type A.

Thousands of types of bacteria are been catalogued in the air in major city environments. These airborne bacteria include:

• Escherichia coli
• botulism-causing bacteria (bacterium Clostridium botulinum)
• whooping cough bacteria (Bordetella pertussis)
• pneumonia bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumoniae)
• bronchitis bacteria (Chlamydia pneumoniae)
• meningitis bacteria (Haemophilus influenzae)
• tuberculosis bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
• diphtheria bacteria (Corynebacteria diphtheria)
• scarlet fever bacteria (Streptococcus pyogenes)
• otitis media bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae)
• anthrax bacteria (Bacillus anthracis)

Airborne Germs and Moulds
Many germs and viruses are airborne - including:

• chickenpox virus (Varicella zoster)
• smallpox virus (Poxvirus variola)
• pneumonia
• mumps virus
• measles
• influenza
• common cold

"Children may be more vulnerable than adults because they inhale more air for their body weight. As well, their growing organs may be more susceptible to damage. Several studies have demonstrated a higher prevalence of chronic cough among children living close to main roads." SMH

UV LIGHT is a popular method of destroying airborne bacteria and viruses.

Moulds and Spores

When inhaled even in small amounts, moulds and spores may produce:

• allergens
• irritants
• sometimes toxins

...that may cause reactions in humans.

 

Resulting health problems may include:

• respiratory nasal & sinus congestion
• throat irritations
• watery and red eyes

...and may add to other existing health conditions.

Influenza

Remember,

• people with colds rarely get fevers
• flu is often accompanied by headaches
• flu viruses cause extreme exhaustion

10 to 20 percent of Australians come down with the Influenza during each flu season, which typically lasts from November to March. The flu and its complications can be life-threatening for elderly people, newborn babies, and people with certain chronic illnesses.

The viruses can pass through the air and enter your body through your nose or mouth. When a person with the flu sneezes, they can send germs as far as 20 feet away. Since influenza viruses can remain airborne for up to two hours, they are easily inhaled by another person. That’s why influenza infection spreads quickly.

You can spread influenza to others before your symptoms start and for another 3 to 4 days after your symptoms appear. The symptoms start very quickly and may include:

• Headache
• Chills
• Dry cough
• Body aches
• Fever
• Stuffy nose
• Sore throat

In Your Car

New research shows that spending too much time inside the car can put your health at risk because of the in-car pollutants which can play havoc with your heart and respiratory system. The research published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine points to the fact that prolonged exposure to dirty air inside vehicles could trigger potentially dangerous changes in heart function.

In air conditioned cars you are trapping the worst quality of air inside the car and circulating the same polluted air again and again.

There is lot of evidence that environmental pollutants have an adverse effect on our well being. Long time exposure to these pollutants whether inside the car or outside reduces oxidant stress in the body which damages the lining of blood vessels ultimately contributing to heart diseases''.

In the study, the researchers monitored the heart rates of troopers of North Carolina State Highway Patrol Cars. Researchers say that troopers were in excellent health and appeared to be at low risk for heart or other health problems. But they found prolonged exposure to air pollution inside the troopers' vehicles prompted changes in the heart rate that could be hazardous on less healthy individuals.

In Your Home

According to the US EPA, the air inside your home may be up to 10 times more polluted than the air outside.

There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home. These include:

• central heating and cooling systems
• tobacco products
• building materials
• furnishings
• products for household cleaning and maintenance
• humidification devices

Other sources, related to activities carried out in the home, release pollutants intermittently. These include smoking, solvents in cleaning and hobby activities, the use of paint strippers in redecorating activities, and the use of cleaning products and pesticides in house-keeping. High pollutant concentrations can remain in the air for long periods after some of these activities.

If too little outdoor air enters a home, pollutants can accumulate to levels that can pose health and comfort problems.
