What happens to an ionized particle once it falls to the ground?
The most important thing to remember is that these microscopic pollutants are out of the air you breathe, which renders them harmless. If they are not in the air, they cannot find their way into your lungs where they do their damage. It should be pointed out that these are microscopic particles and not specks of dirt, so your floors, furniture, and other surfaces will not suddenly become “dirty” once these pollutants begin falling out the air. However, it is possible for these particulates to be collected as a result of your routine cleaning, such as vacuuming and dusting. It is also possible for these particles to become “kicked up” again into the air. Fortunately, Ionic Air Purifiers produce a continual supply of negative ions and low levels of ozone, which means “kicked up” particulates will find themselves grounded again very quickly.
