Happen to come across this site & starts to get worry.

Any expert here got any advice?

 

I'm not expert, but know that most ioniser produces ozone.

Ozone is used effectively to kill bacteria, but heard that too much of it (dunno how much) will collapses our human lungs.

 

Please don't quote me, this is just what I hear say only. Don't know if there is any truth in it or not.

A cheap, small ionizer will not be so strong to cuz such problems.

 

I believe a Household size ionizer in a car will have such probs. [:p]

imho, take those webby end with .com with a pinch of salt.. cos there is always commercial in mind, in this case, trying to sell the filter together with the ionizer.

bulls.. there is a critical difference betw ionized air and O3. they r not the same.

 

get hold of the volume of your cabin, say 3m3

 

amount of dust = 0.5g/m3= total dust only 1.5g

calculate your breathing rate and the speed of adhesion by electrolyting the dust

 

your breathing rate (normal aspirating = 60 liter/min ) is rather fixed unless you get into condition of increasing carbon monoxide where hyper ventilation occurs. even at that point, the rate is rather predictable. u r not absorbing the entire 1.5g of dust.

 

go figure..

ionizers generally are safe as the qty of ions are good for our health. however, anything excessive is harmful to us!

 

so, the smart thing to do is not to get anything that is made in China to use in your car [thumbsdown] .

 

happy usage~ [flowerface]
