In an era of heightened awareness of epidemic prevention and health, air quality has become a crucial aspect of home safety. Many people are familiar with the power of "ultraviolet sterilization," but a newer and smarter technology is gradually emerging— plasma ionization .
How exactly is it different from ultraviolet light? And why is it becoming increasingly popular in Hong Kong households? The following 5 "secrets" about air will help you understand the true advantages of plasma technology.
1. Plasma is not light, but high-energy ions.
Many consumers mistakenly believe that "plasma" is simply the blue light emitted during operation; in reality, that's just a glowing phenomenon. True plasma is generated by ionizing air molecules, producing positive and negative ions. These ions actively attack bacteria, viruses, and formaldehyde molecules, breaking them down into water and carbon dioxide, achieving a deep purification effect.
2. Ultraviolet radiation has blind spots; plasma active protection offers more comprehensive protection.
Ultraviolet (UV) sterilization is effective, but it is a passive disinfection method, only able to reach surfaces within the reach of light. Shady areas, the undersides of furniture, or corners often become blind spots.
Conversely, plasma ions diffuse freely in the air, actively neutralizing suspended bacteria and viruses, and even completely covering microorganisms on ceilings, corners, and curtains.
3. Purifies and removes odors simultaneously, creating an odor-free space.
Plasma can not only kill bacteria, but also decompose molecules that cause odors, such as cigarette smoke, pet odor, and cooking fumes.
In Hong Kong homes where humidity is high and air circulation is poor, it acts like a natural deodorizer, keeping indoor air fresh for a long time.
4. Experiments have shown that it can effectively inhibit a variety of viruses.
According to the latest experimental research, bipolar shielded ionization technology (DBD Plasma) can effectively reduce the activity of pathogens including coronaviruses, influenza viruses, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Unlike traditional filters or ultraviolet light, plasma is an "active protection system" that provides a higher level of health protection for the elderly and children in the home.
5. The new generation of plasma technology is safe and ozone-free.
In the past, plasma products may have released ozone, but this is a thing of the past.
The latest generation of home appliances (such as Power Living's TP-900 plasma fan) features a low-ozone safety design and has been internationally tested and certified to ensure that it will not cause respiratory discomfort even after prolonged use, balancing safety and comfort.
Conclusion: Let technology protect every breath.
From "passive purification" to "active protection," plasma technology is redefining air purification.
Next time you choose an air purifier or a fan with heating and cooling, don't just look at the filter or UV function. Remember to check if it is equipped with plasma active sterilization technology—this is not just an extra function, but the first line of defense to protect your family's health.
