Strange but true. The global ionic air purifier market is of multimillion dollar magnitude. Yet it is extremely difficult to find a well-organized and properly documented website that sets out objectively the guidelines to help a potential user decide on the ideal ionic air purifier for his or her specific needs.
Logical Selection Criteria
My personal search is turning out to be one that points me in the direction of setting up such a blog. It is a daunting task but I intend to press on along these logical selection criteria:
Ionic air purifiers hold the promise of clean air, purified of all known harmful contaminants that threaten our health. Air is made impure by substances unseen by our naked eye. The weapons against such are very likely to be invisible to our eyes as well. I am drawn to this intuitive logic. Yet, even before an hour of internet research has lapsed, a whole deluge of controversy is thrown up by google. Obviously, I must resist the urge to go by intuition and grab the first ionic air purifier that I lay hands on. The search for an ionic air purifier must focus on its safety aspects as much, if not more, than its effectiveness against contaminants.
In a dramatic press update on 27 August 2008, Sharp Corporation unveiled its latest technological weapon against bird flu! Incorporated in its ionic air purifier, the Plasmacluster Technology (more on this in a later post) has just been scientifically proven to be 99.9% effective in destroying the bird flu virus known as H5N1.
As we have been constantly reminded by the press, bird flu is the prime suspect to cause mankind’s next pandemic. Pandemic sounds terrifying. It is. That’s when a highly contagious virus goes global, in a very negative sense. The worst pandemic on record was the Spanish flu in 1918 which is believed to have killed 50 million people worldwide! That was blamed on the H1N1 virus which was only recently confirmed on 5 October 2005 by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a bird flu virus.
