“Austin Air, Our Wannabe Competitor, Shows Why Ionizers Are So Ineffective”
The following questions are based on Austin Air’s own advertising material, not anything written by us
with Austin Pure Air. (They sell HEPA filters and ozone generators and provide the convincing
arguments for us about why traditional ionizers are so ineffective.)
1. A consumer guide stated about ionics (ionizers):
a. They do little to clean the air
b. They do a poor job of removing smoke, dust, and pollen particles from the air
c. They are an invaluable air cleaning system, better than all others
d. a and b
2. Ion Generators:
a. are similar to ozone generators—they both put out ozone and ions
b. have become popular for cleaning air and attempting to remove odors
c. are much less effective than ozone generators
d. all of the above
3. Ion generators:
a. simply give a negative charge to ions in the air so that floating dust particles will cling to
a surface in the room (like static electricity does)—partially cleaning the air but not
purifying it
b. make large dust particles floating in the air stick to the wall, floor, and room furnishings
c. put out a very small amount of ozone as a byproduct of ion generation—but not enough
to be truly helpful
d. all of the above
4. Ozone generators:
a. generate the gas called ozone, extremely helpful for purifying the air and removing odors
b. generate something sometimes called “activated oxygen”
c. generate molecules with three atoms of oxygen rather than two
d. all of the above
5. Ozone:
has a life cycle that includes generation, oxidation, and return to pure O2 (oxygen).
b. is labeled an unstable gas, because soon after it is generated the third atom wants to
break away from the other two, which it does by oxidation
c. after destroying odor-causing particles leaves behind pure oxygen and the remnants of the
oxidation process: harmless hydrogen and CO2.
d. All of the above
a.
6. Ionizers:
a. claim that they are ozone-free
b. claim that they are safer than ozone generators
c. in truth can’t kill any mold or bacteria
d. all of the above
7. Smog:
a.
b.
c.
d.
is often mislabeled as ozone by ionizer companies
is actually toxic hydrocarbons from automobiles
is not ozone, and is not cleaned from the air when there is no ozone present
all of the above
8. What’s wrong with ionizers?:
a. For them to perform air cleaning (removing larger particles of dust), they produce a very
large amount of ions—more than is safe
b. They generate 1 million to 10 million or more ions per cubic meter—more than is safe
c. They generate so many ions (trying to be effective) they can cause headaches and sore
throats
d. all of the above
9. High-level ion generation:
a. is not better than much lower ion generation
b. only accomplishes temporary air cleaning, not true air purification
c. does not kill anything
d. all of the above
10. Ionizers:
a. simply push around the floating dirt (dust, bacteria, mold spores) to surfaces in a room
b. can’t prevent ionized dust on surfaces from kicking right back into the air
c. can make walls, floor, appliances, and furniture begin to build up a layer of dirt
d. all of the above
11. Ionizer plates:
a. can only collect about 5% of the dirt in the air
b. cannot collect the dirt that sticks to surfaces
c. cannot prevent the dreaded “black wall” effect
d. all of the above
12. Ionizers:
a. will leave a home with more bacteria than at the beginning of ionizer use
b. make a dust problem worse
c. cannot kill odors or remove large particles such as pet dander
d. all of the above
13. Austin Air (not Austin PURE Air) sells quality hospital-grade HEPA filters:
a. that are more cost-effective than store-bought brands
b. that should be combined with an ozone generator
c. that can NEVER do what GENANO Technology Air Purifiers do!!!
d. All of the above
We encourage you to study for your own knowledge the material past the fifth page of this APA New
Agent Training Section #5 but we will only test on the first 5 pages. No further Pre-Test questions, then,
are included here.
Please understand that until recently, Austin Air (our wannabe competitor) has had some of the best
indoor air purifiers available, utilizing high quality HEPA filters and ozone generation. But now these
are far inferior.
Now…
Revolutionary GENANO Technology provides amazing, world-leading filterless air
purification that destroys and safely removes from indoor air even nano-sized particles with
99.96% efficiency. It runs on the energy of a light bulb, requires no nasty filters or hazardous UV
lights, and is therefore 100% safe, using only DISTILLED WATER AND CLEANSING
SOLUTION in its world-patented purification chamber. The result is super-sweet, ultrapure
indoor air for greatly improved health and saved lives!
