Ions in the air occur naturally when an energy source is presented to the atmosphere. Depending on the energy source, the ions will be positively or negatively charged. The greatest concentration of ions result naturally in waterfalls, lightning storms, ocean surf, forests, and even through sunlight. Now you know why those environments can make you feel so refreshed and invigorated.
BlueIonAir installs and services commercial grade needle point bipolar ionization (NPBI) systems on air conditioning systems in commercial and residential buildings. The NPBI patented equipment uses a technologically advanced and proven safe process to create a high concentration of ions. As these ions travel with the air stream they attach to particles, pathogens and gases, cleaning the air everywhere the ions travel, even in spaces unseen.
Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI) air purification is over 99.4 percent effective at reducing the SARS-COV-2 virus on surfaces and in the atmosphere. NPBI proactively emits bipolar ions (positively and negatively charged ions) that attach to and neutralize pathogens (bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease). Unlike traditional Ionizers, this UL 2998 Certified (see below) advanced technology provides safe and effective air ionization and air purification.
"Businesses cannot mislead consumers with their advertising, especially when it comes to health issues as serious as COVID-19,” admonishes Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. Therefore it is important to state clearly, BlueIonAir does not claim that NPBI will eliminate all risks associated with Pathogens. However, according to WHO, COVID-19 is the disease caused by the virus SARS-COV-2. Therefore, BlueIonAir promotes the argument that a significant reduction of viruses in an environment will reduce the potential of contracting an infectious disease from the environment.

Comparing Ionizers, UV-C, and HEPA: This linked article by an unrelated third party does a great job of explaining a number of different air purification methods. Ozone is classified as a pollutant by the EPA, the WHO, and many other health organizations. Therefore, improving the indoor air quality should not include adding ozone. NPBI improves the quality of indoor air without adding ozone, as certified by UL 2998.
NPBI air purification is completely safe for humans, plants, and animals. NPBI has not only proven to be safe, it makes the air cleaner and safer by producing ions that naturally occurs in nature. UL 2998 certified that NPBI technology does not create any ozone, aldehydes, or ultra-fine particles.
RTCA DO-160G provides standard procedures and environmental test criteria for testing airborne equipment, including air purification systems, for the entire spectrum of aircraft from light general aviation aircraft and helicopters through the “jumbo jets” and SST categories of aircraft.
NPBI is significantly less expensive than other air purification systems. For example, an effective NPBI solution can cost less than $1,000 (see pricing below). Alternatively, effective UV solutions can cost $10,000 to $120,000 per the article "UV Disinfection Technology: Is it Worth the cost?".
