How Bipolar Ionization Works to Clean the Air
of Pollutants
Much like sunlight does in the atmosphere,
Plasma Air technology produces a natural bio-
climate rich in positive and negative oxygen
ions. The negative ions contain an extra
electron while the positive ions are missing an
electron resulting in an unstable condition. In
an effort to restabilize, these bipolar ions seek
out atoms and molecules in the air to trade
electrons with, effectively neutralizing
particulate matter, bacteria and virus cells,
odorous gases and aerosols, and VOCs.
Airborne particles are charged by the ions
causing them to cluster and be caught in filters
As they divide to reproduce, bacteria and virus
cells bond with oxygen ions and are destroyed
Odorous gases and aerosols oxidize on contact
with oxygen ions and are neutralized
Oxygen ions cause a chemical reaction with
VOCs breaking down their molecular structure
