Ionizer/Air Purifier

[blve_ice]

Dudes/Dudettes,

Does it really work? I'm contemplating on getting one kase un pina plug lang sa cigarette lighter socket. Nabasa ko din kse sa isang old issue ng Top Gear about it. Just want to know ur inputs if its a good buy ba talaga or good bye na lang hehe. Thanks!

[wildthing]

good buy. The small ones that fits the lighter (cost P550-700) will give less ionization that you hardly feel it but it does help in maintaining the "fresh from the casa" smell inside your ride. But for stronger odours (like spilt fish blood from the bayong pamalengke) you'll need the bigger ones (boxy type but cost about P500-600). Pero matapang eto. Minsan you'll feed dizzy so you have to turn it off after awhile of use.

how does this work anyways ?

may thread na dati about this. ionizers produce ozone and this in turn reacts with and oxidizes the odor causing chemicals, breaking them down into odorless agents.

however, there is something that you will need to consider if you want this in your car. ozone at lower atmospheres is considered a pollutant, eats away at metals just like an acid, and causes cancer in humans. would you like to be inside a car and breathe cancer-causing ozone while you drive? i bet not.

my suggestion to you is if it stinks, clean it. there is no substitute for a clean car.

Some of the previous ionizers/ozonizer threads searched from tsikot's own:

- use of ozonisers/ionizers in your car is unsafe for you

- ozonizer or ionizer

HTH

eh? so even the new Split type airconditioners with ionizer function are dangerous??

hmmm....very informative read. thanks sa mga inputs niyo sir! I think i'll just stick to my routine of keeping the cabin clean. nacurious lang ako kse nabasa ko sa Top Gear magazine eh.

Thanks thanks!
