I've been reading research papers on ionizers (and other similarly named marketing terms), Ionizers produce ozone as a by-product. Ozone is actually a pollutant and is toxic to humans (and animals). So, even weak ozone production in a small room can exceed safety levels.
Please click this link for more information - see the column "implications": http://www.chem.uci.edu/~nizkorod/pu...n_JAWMA_O3.pdf
Furthermore, all those claims by aircon companies and air purifier companies are actually exaggerated or even false. The so-called bacteria killing is done not by negative ions, but by ozone. But ozone is dangerous for us too, not just on bacteria.
Please click these 2 research papers to understand how bacteria got killed :

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17439657
Please tell your loved ones to stop using any ionizer function on their aircons and air-purifiers. How can we as customers get so easily tricked and conned like this by those companies ? What about little babies inhaling poison while we think they are inhaling clean air ? They should be charged for treason and murder !
