• Approved by the U.S. FDA (Food & Drug Admin.) as an approved allergy treatment.
• Ionization is mandatory in many European and Russian Hospitals.
• In March of 1999, Good Housekeeping Magazine had its engineers test an ionizer by using a smoke test, and found that it cleared out the smoke in a tank.
• A recent study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found that ionizing a room led to 52% less dust in the air, and 95% less bacteria in the air (since many of the pollutants found in the air reside on floating dust particles).

Most floating contaminates and allergens are positively charged, and of course, negative ions are negatively charged. In environments where high densities of negative ions exist, they are able to reverse the charge of floating contaminates to a negative charge.

This results in a magnetic attraction among the floating pollutants in the air, causing them to aggregate, or clump together.
As a result, they become too heavy to remain floating in the air, and fall harmlessly to the ground, where they cannot find their way into your respiratory tract.
At this point, even if they are inhaled before falling out of the air, these now larger particles are able to be intercepted by the "filters" of the upper respiratory tract, due to their increased size.
Of course, without a continual generation of negative ions, some of these enlargened pollutants can find their way back into the air. Heaven Fresh air purification systems are designed for continual use, ensuring pollutants stay out of the air you breathe.
Some studies suggest that negative ions also have a biological effect on bacteria and viruses, killing them on contact in many cases.

7)Air ion effects on human performance
The effect of air ions on the human organism has been the subject of much debate. Commercial units are available which claim beneficial effects through the generation of negative air ions into the atmosphere. Conversely, it has been claimed that an excess of positive ions can cause discomfort and symptoms such as headaches and nausea in some people.

May 6, 2002 -- There is something in the air and while it may not be love, some say it is the next best thing -- negative ions. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments.

16. Pollutants Removed

Cleaning the Dust Collection Plate The dust collection plate should be cleaned about every 20-30 days. If the purifier begins making a zapping sound, then this is simply a sign that the dust collection plate needs to be wiped off. The zapping sound is just a result of a significant amount of dust build-up on the collection plate, which results in a static charge between the dust on the collector, and one of the ion-producing electrodes. Cleaning the dust collection plate is very simple to do. You just need to loosen the two screws that hold the dust collection plate in. Then you just need to pull the dust collection plate out, and wipe it off with a damp cloth. You should then wipe it off with a dry towel, and reinsert it back into its slot. If there is difficult-to-remove residue on the plate, you should use a household cleaner, such as ammonia or bleach, to help remove it.

Maintenance of the Negative Ion-Producing Electrodes (Needlepoints)Every 1-3 months, or if the unit stops working or begins making noise, the dust and particulate should be wiped off from the ends of each of the needlepoints inside the front grill of the unit. First, make sure that the unit is unplugged. Next, remove the collector plate (see the photo above). Now, the needlepoints will be accessible through the opening left by the removal of the collector plate. To clean the needlepoints, either wipe off the dust with your fingers or cloth, or a cotton swab (like Q-tip) dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Cleaning the Interior of the PurifierThe interior of the Heaven Fresh ionizer should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months. First, loosen the four screws at the base of the unit to open the cover of the purifier. It is best to use a Phillips screwdriver with a head that will sufficiently fit the holes at the bottom of the unit. In doing so, you will be able to see the electronic circuitry of the unit. Then, simply and carefully wipe away or blow off any dust that has collected on any of the components. If you use a damp cloth to wipe away the dust, then blow-dry the interior of the air ionizer before replacing the cover and turning the unit on again.
