Ionic Car Air Purifiers

Many people have fairly odd smells in their cars. Maybe you know where it came from, and maybe you don't. Perhaps you bought a used car and it smells like cigarettes or some other smell. What it really comes down to is if your car smells you want to get rid of it. You have probably tried the little pine tree shaped air fresheners and many other options in vain, only to find they only covered up the smell and added a new equally obnoxious smell to your car. Luckily there is a great way to erase the smells that fill your car, you can use an ionic car air purifier.

Ionic air purifiers for cars work in a very different way when compared most air purification systems. Unlike most systems, which seek to cover up the smell with a different smell, ionic purifiers use static electricity to change the particles themselves. Air ionizers have an electrode in them that draws airborne particles to it. This effect is very similar to static electricity. The airborne particles then become ions. Ions are molecules with either a positive or negative charge. These are created by either adding or removing an electron. A negative ion is called an anion, and a positive ion is called a cation. Most ionic car air purifiers create anions. This causes the particle to try and ground itself by reaching an earthly conductor. The particles will then either fall to the ground or stick to the wall in order to reach equilibrium. From this process the airborne particles causing the odor become no longer airborne and also lose their smell.

An ionic air purifier for your car will do many things. Because of the aforementioned process, ionic air purifiers do not need to use any kind of chemical cleaning agent and also do not try and cover up odors with other smells. They also do not have filters. This allows them to be much smaller with require virtually no maintainable and still be extremely effective for keeping fumes and odors out of your car. These air ionizers will also completely eliminate bacteria in the air as well as other particles. They can relieve your allergies(as well as hay fever and asthma) because the pollens and dusts that cause the symptoms will be virtually eliminate in the cabin of your car.

These products also begin to show effectiveness immediately. Most ionic car air purifiers work simply by plugging them into the cigarette lighter. It will usually have a plastic or metal housing and extend, at most, a few inches out of the cigarette lighter. They don't take up any extra space so your car will not be any more cluttered than it was before. Many people who first get these are surprised that almost immediately after you plug them in, like magic, they are suddenly in a odorless environment.
