The stuff floating in the air is 80% dead skin and over 350 different allergy producing air pollutants and contaminants, including cigarette, cigar an pipe smoke, germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew and fungi, pollen, house dust and dust mites, odors from smoke, pets, mold, mildew, exhaust fumes, food, body sweat, chemical gases (formaldehyde, benzene, etc.) from new carpets, furniture, cleaning products, solvents, furnishings, dry cleaning and construction.
The effects of breathing this allergy producing air pollution include dizziness, irritability, coughing, sneezing, dry eyes, hay fever, allergies, asthma symptoms, sinus problems, ear infections, depression, fatigue, headaches, nausea, breathing problems, respiratory infections, etc. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency:
Physicians are now discovering that the solution to the problems of many of these people is not in medicine but in reducing the pollutants in the air people breathe. But mere filtration is insufficient. Filters only create a breeding ground for pathogens, like molds, bacteria and dust mites and do nothing to combat chemicals or odors. What's more, a filter can only 'clean' the air that passes through it.
Ions are natural particles in the air that have either a positive or negative charge. They get this charge by either losing or gaining an electron. Negative ions are the good guys -- they are simply oxygen atoms that have gained an electron. They attach themselves to airborne particles such as dust, pollen, smoke and dander, causing them to drop from the air.
Nature provides both positive and negative ions in abundance, but when it comes to feeling good, it's the negative ions that are important. See Negative Ion Studies
The best natural generator for negative ions is lightning, followed by ocean surf and waterfalls. Negative ions are also abundant in mountains and forests, since all plants give off some ions. In clean, natural air, you'll find very high concentrations of negative ions.
Negative Ions can be actively produced by high voltage electricity run through metal needles, or passively, as a byproduct of when ozone is created by corona discharge or UV light. Needlepoint ionization is by far the most effective way to produce high volume negative ions. However, negative ions have a very short life (2 - 6 minutes) and die before they can circulate completely throughout a dwelling, which is why a negative ionizer will only treat a single room. Also, a high-powered ion generator will produce what has been termed "black wall", a black dust that settles on surfaces, in particular around the ion generator.
"My profession is that of a Respiratory Therapist,
and after only 12 hours of use can tell a difference." -- J.M. Hare
Surround Air Ionizers prevent the "black wall" effect because the fan creates airflow to dissipate the negative ions more effectively so there isnt a large density located at the front of the unit and it also causes airflow and hence its particulate to go through the filters and be collected there, not on the surface near the air purifier.
Negative ions clean the air by magnetically attracting to pollutants until these newly-formed larger particles become too heavy to remain in the air you breathe. Surround Air Ionizers continually produce negative ions, so even if one of these fallen particles is kicked up into the air, it is quickly removed again. The most important thing, though, is that they are taken out of the air, preventing you from inhaling them into your lungs, which is how they cause problems. (Studies)
Dr.
Teresa Watts - Pediatric Pulmonologist (Lung Specialist):
"I love them! I cannot overstate this enough. I have been so impressed [with the XJ-3000C]. My house is now dust-free. I have no smell or sight of mold. I've had no side effects from the purifiers either. Very interestingly, my family no longer passes viral illnesses amongst one another. If one of my sons picks up a virus or something at school, neither I nor the other child contract it now that we use the Surround Air purifiers. Before this, like in every other house, if one family member became sick, everybody would."

"I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how pleased we've been with our purchase. The recent Southern California wildfires produced a large amount of smoke and ash in the air around our home. Thanks to your product, our indoor air never once smelled of smoke. We even loaned one of our units to a neighbor to help remove the smoke odor from their home." -- Jon and Tammy, Aliso Viejo, CA
