How does it prevent particles (such a dust) from entering back into the living space of the home or building?
Negative ions will magnetically attract to particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, chemicals, etc. and trap them against the inside of the duct work. The ozone and hydroxyl radicals, which are powerful oxidants, will then oxidize (or “bake”) particles into the inside of the ductwork, so they do not re-enter the living space of your home or building. The negative ions are concentrated in a 3-6 foot radius around the unit, so any particulate that does accumulate can be easily wiped away while you are wiping off the bulb (recommended to do so about once a month). It is easy to clean the magnetized particles that are attached to the ductwork, since they will mostly be within a few feet of the unit.
