"Burtran's mesh metal box may look plain and industrial, but it offers something extra in the world of air purifiers: negative oxygen ion technology. The company's claim is that its purifier's release of high-density (2,000-5,000 ions per cubic centimeter) negative oxygen ions delivers a "refreshing, forestlike atmosphere," which will boost energy, reduce stress, and improve sleep-all without ozone, radiation, or static. It also uses a HEPA 14, a denser filter than the more ubiquitous HEPA 13s that most air purifiers use."
"I've tested air purifiers for years, and I usually stay away from purifiers that serve up ion technology. As the EPA explains, "Ozone, a lung irritant, is produced indirectly by ion generators and some other electronic air cleaners and directly by ozone generators.""
Burtran's purifier combines negative oxygen ion technology with a HEPA 14 filter, releasing high-density ions (2,000–5,000 ions per cubic centimeter). The company claims the ions create a forestlike atmosphere that boosts energy, reduces stress, and improves sleep while avoiding ozone, radiation, and static. The unit is compact, portable, powerful for its size, and notably quiet among medium-sized models. The display and indicator lights can be confusing and hard to read. The device is CARB-Certified and not listed as an ozone producer, but negative-ion technology raises ongoing concerns about radiation and other risks.
