Luxury Car High Output Ioniser/Air Purifier

New Model

When used in the car you will feel more refreshed and have better concentration.

The car is one of the worst areas for pollution that we have to endure daily so for people who spend most of the day in the car as a living, for example - Sales Reps, Lorry Drivers, Taxi Drivers - this is a must have product. The ionizer will also freshen and clean the air in the vehicle and remove any bad odour.

Also as you travel , air friction knocks electrons off the outer metal surface, quickly building up a positive charge. This charge is transferred to the air in the car and very soon what you breathe contains virtually no negative ions but a lot of positive ions. Under these conditions your body takes in less oxygen and releases a "stress" hormome called Serotonin. Over prolonged periods judgement is impaired, reflexes can slow down by 20 per cent and you suffer the familiar symptoms of driver fatigue, headache, car sickness, etc.

The Ionizer in your car will counteract these symptoms, freshen and clean the air in the car and reduce the static electricity charge that is built up in the vehicle.

Effective Area: 10 square metres

Output: 2,000000 neg ions per c/c

Size: 98mm x 95mm x 45mm

Function of Negative Ions

Suitable negative ion concentration will greatly influence peoples health and life expectancy. Negative ions eliminate bacteria and virus in the air and substantially prevent the inhalation of toxic particules such as smoke and dust.

It has also been found that a lack of negative ions affects peoples health for example, sick office syndrome where an average modern office has been found to have only 100 negative ions per cc (cubic centimetre) in contrast walking along a beach you will find 60,000 negative ions per cc and over 100,000 ions per cc near a waterfall.

Some of the most contaminated areas are actually your office, (computer area - see our USB piezo ioniser), home and car and as we spend most of our time in these areas it's important that we remove the contamination in the air and also the effects of EMI from all the electrical gadgets that we now have. Depending on where we live defines the air quality for example there is no point in a congested city opening your windows thinking that you are letting in fresh air also in the car pollution is all around from exhaust fumes and air conditioning.

For anyone suffering in summer months from hay fever the ioniser will vastly reduce histamines which is the trigger for hay fever. It will also have a beneficial affect to anyone suffering from bronchial complaints - asthma, catarrh and the common cold by cleaning the air of airborne particules, pet dander and dust mite faecal.

Normal ioniser produces ions by electric and magnetic. It uses a wire rolled transformer as the core part. It's transfer efficiency is max. 80%, produces strong EMI (electro magnetic immission) and is easy to short circuit. Hence it's life span is much less. To produce more ions by this method you have to make the transformer larger therefore the product is much larger and heavier than our models.

Piezo Ioniser produces ions by electric and mechanic applying a Piezo Ceramic Transformer as the core part. Has high transfer efficiency of 95%, produces many more negative ions, has a long life, works stabley, will not short circuit and produces no EMI.

NEW WEAPON TO FIGHT HOSPITAL INFECTIONS

A potential new weapon in the fight against hospital acquired infections has been discovered by researchers at the University of Leeds.

The scientists studied the effect of negative air ionisers on infections caused by acinetobacter; a pathogen responsible for increasing numbers of sometimes fatal infections amongst hospital patients. Ionisers were placed in the intensive care unit at St James's University Hospital, which, like similar wards across the UK, has had recurrent problems with infections caused by acinetobacter.

For the first six months the researchers, from the aerobiological research group in the University's school of civil engineering, monitored the normal situation in the unit, taking samples from surfaces, patients and from the air to monitor bacteria levels, and logging the number of patient infections. During the second half of the year-long trial, the ionisers were switched on, and the results were impressive: infections due to acinetobacter reduced dramatically.

Lead researcher Dr Clive Beggs said: "This is the first epidemiological study of its kind into the use of ionisers in hospital wards and the initial results are very promising. We believe that the negative air ions are removing the bacteria from the air, so stopping the transmission of infection. Our tests have focused solely on acinetobacter, but it's possible the ionisers may have had an effect on other airborne bacteria. We now need to carry out further research to determine exactly how the ions work and how widespread their effects could be."

Even without further research, the fact the ionisers are already making a difference is good enough for lead consultant at St James's intensive care unit, Dr Stephen Dean. "We wanted to be involved in the trial as infections are a major issue for units such as ours, where many patients are already very vulnerable," he said. "The results have been fantastic - so much so that we asked the University to leave the ionisers with us. Since the trial finished in May, we've kept them in operation, and have continued to see greatly reduced acinetobacter infections on the ward."

Dr Kevin Kerr, lead clinical microbiologist on the project, said: "Acinetobacter infections are very difficult to treat as the bacterium is resistant to nearly all antibiotics, so prevention of these infections is of key importance. Ionisers may become a powerful weapon in the fight against hospital-acquired infection."

Acinetobacter is a bacterium found naturally in the environment. It can survive drying, and can persist in dust and on inanimate surfaces for extended periods. While it poses no real threat to healthy humans, when the body's defences are weakened it can cause serious infections. For these reasons it has become a significant problem in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units where patients are already critically ill. While there are few national data on numbers of infections from specific bacteria, acinetobacter is acknowledged alongside MRSA as a significant cause of hospital-acquired infections. Acinetobacter can cause infections of the lung (pneumonia), blood stream (septicaemia) and infections of surgical wounds and burns as well as urine infections. Such infections are difficult to treat as many strains of the bacterium are resistant to more than one antibiotic, with the most resistant strains only treatable by one or two drugs, and fully resistant strains are expected to develop in the near future. Attention is therefore being focused on preventative strategies.

The trial was carried out by a team led by senior lecturer Dr Clive Beggs and including Dr Andrew Sleigh of the University of Leeds, Dr Kevin Kerr, formerly of the University of Leeds and now consultant microbiologist at Harrogate Health Care Trust, Dr Neil Todd, consultant microbiologist at York General Hospital and Dr Stephen Dean, lead consultant on the intensive care unit at St James's University Hospital.
