Are Air Ionizers Bad

The Short Answer. Most ionic air purifiers (ionizers) are completely safe and not bad for your health. They emit negative ions into the air as a way to clean it which is harmless to you. They’re often confused with ozone generators which emit high levels of ozone that can be bad for health.

Is ionized air bad for you?

The negatively charged ions produced by air ionizers are not harmful and will attract and trap the charged particles including the potentially harmful particles in the air which if untreated could lead to throat irritation or respiratory infections. This will leave the air safer for a healthy environment.

Is it safe to be in a room with an ionizer?

Do not use an ionizer in an enclosed space when someone is present. Either open a window or run the ionizer when no one is home, turning it off whenever anyone is in the room with it.
