Types of Air Purification Products

Almost all air purifications systems available today use one or more of the following methods shown below:

FILTERS - There are many kinds of filters on the market: HEPA, Fiber/Foam, and Carbon Media to name a few.  In general, they work by blowing air through a semi-permeable barrier.  The higher the density of the filter, the lower the airflow through the unit.

IONIZERS - Generally, this technology works by using an electrical charge to change the polarity of particles passing through - or in the vicinity of - the unit.  The charged particles then become attracted to a surface with the opposite charge.

OZONE GENERATORS - Ozone is one of the most effective oxidizers found in nature.  It is used widely in HVAC systems because it is very effective against mold, mildew, odors, bacteria, and disease. 

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT - Ultraviolet (UV) light has been used by the medical profession for years.  UV light works because the energy from the light rays can destroy the microbes and other organic contaminants in the air.
