How Air Ionization Works

Have you ever noticed how fresh the air smells after a good thunderstorm with lots of lightning? Well, nature has a way of purifying the air we breathe through complex chemistry involving plasma and ions. Using thunderstorms as an example, the ionized gas present in the air actually conducts electricity and reacts with other gases, air pollutants and dust particles and removes them from the air we breathe.

SONA Technology works the same way. As air passes over the SONA Plasma Cells, oxygen molecules are added with electron(s) and become negatively charged. Negatively charged oxygen molecules are very unstable by nature and as soon as they collide with another molecule, they transfer extra electron(s) to the collided molecule and break the chemical chain of a contaminated structure. Negatively charged oxygen molecules are also instrumental in cleaning the air of various pollutants by means of oxidation by deactivating the surface membranes of bacteria and viruses. Negatively charged oxygen molecules can also cling to one another, creating a cluster where the particulates increase in size and weight. The newly formed cluster of dust eventually becomes large and heavy enough that it falls out of the air and is trapped in your HVAC system’s filter.
