Aircare Launch New Personal Ioniser in UK

Aircare Launch New Personal Ioniser in UK

A new wearable air cleaning ioniser has been launched in the UK. About the size of a pager, it can be worn anywhere and will protect the user from airborne pollutants and bugs.

(PRWEB) December 10, 2004

A personal ioniser that can be worn around the neck or on your clothing has been launched on the UK market by Aircare Products Ltd.

Managing Director Mr Michael Kearney, said that the ioniser could be worn whilst driving, jogging, at one desk, in hospital on an airplane or wherever poor quality or dangerous air is found.

Ionisers produce negative ions which clean the air and have therapeutic properties. Government figures suggest that over 100,000 people in the UK will pick up a hospital "super-bug" each year and 5000 people will die from this! Approximately 20% of these bugs are airborne and can be destroyed by negative ions before you breathe them in. Just last year, in research carried out in St James's hospital, Leeds, the NHS spent £100k proving that negative ions do indeed destroy hospital super-bugs.

The Personal ioniser could also provide protection against airborne nasties found in aircraft cabins where the air is 50% re-cycled and poorley filtered.

Other obvious areas where a personal air cleaner like the Aircare Personal Ioniser would be very useful include, smokey pubs and restaurants, in the office and whilst driving.

As Mr Kearney says; "Personal ionisers have really taken off in the far east and especially Japan, possibly as a result of recent SARS scares. Everything from toothbrushes to fridges has an ioniser in them these days. We are slowly catching on over here and with so many airborne dangers to our health, it looks like ionisers are going to play an important role in protecting ourselves."
