What are Ions?

Ions are tiny particles in the air that carry an electrical charge — either positive (+) or negative (–). In air purification, these ions are released into the air to attach to pollutants like dust, smoke, allergens, and even viruses. Once attached, they help clump these particles together, making them easier to remove from the air — or neutralizing them completely.This process is what makes ionized air cleaner, fresher, and healthier to breathe.

SONA uses advanced dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) ionization to safely release a balanced mix of positive and negative ions into the air. Here’s what happens next:

1. Ions attach to airborne pollutants
2. Particles clump together, making them easier to capture or fall out of the air
3. Hydroxyl radicals (OH–) are formed, which help neutralize viruses, bacteria, and VOCs

Cleaner air. Naturally. Ions are naturally occurring everywhere in the outdoors, constantly working to clean the air. Ions are generated from crashing water at waterfalls, rain events, lightening, the ocean and even sunlight. Lightening produces enormous amounts of ions which leave the pollutants in the air, leaving clean, purified air. SONA brings this science indoors.
