You can see an explanation of the "technology" if you go on the pionair website. It says "Inductive warmth draws humidity into the unit to cause a photocatalytic reaction that creates negative ions and hydroxyl radicals. Indoor pollutants are positively charged and draw the negatively charged ions into the environment. The negative ions attach to the pollutants allowing gravity to pull them out of the air. The hydroxyl radicals attach to microbials such as mold and bacteria and destroy them."
This is bs right? Please explain if it is, many thanks!
