Ionizer Question

[Made In Canada]

I have a sunbeam hepa filter with a optional ionizer in it, however, considering i lost the manual, i do not know wether the ionizer is on or off.

 

My question is, is an ionizer harmful to electrical components such as a PC?

 

Ive read that they are also harmful to humans so if this is true, i might just not use it, however my room is dusty so what should i do?

Dust your room.

 

I use one in my repair shop and I love it, keeps the air clean, just wipe down your surfaces to keep the dust out!

I don't seem to have any problems from using the Ionizer, and I have computers all around it and have had no problems.

when you say dust my room, do you mean like a feather duster?

 

how long were you exposed to the ionizer? i read that after 8 hours of the "ozone" given off, it can harm someone.

8 hours a day, 6 days a week...

I dust with a microfiber cloth moist with 97% isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

If it's a true ionizer that creates ozone you wouldn't want it on all the time since large amounts of ozone can have negative health effects but shouldn't affect electronics.
