Does it clean gases like Radon out of the air?

I know that it helps immensely with the spring pollen. It keeps the air clean so I can sleep well at night. I have two of this air cleaners, one in the bedroom and the other in my living room, I also have a salt candle in my office to keep the pollen at bay.

It does a very good job of removing dust, pollen, and other particulates, particularly if you turn on the anion generator. That helps precipitate particulates out of the air so you don't breathe them.

I am not sure. All ionizing air purifiers I have experienced do this. Some people say that just using the ionization function is bad for you due to the radicals it created(those that say this are equating these radicals with the free radicals in your body that antioxidants kill)

I believe the manometer fluid is a mineral-base oil that does not contain any water. The fluid probably will become viscous (thick) if exposed to cold temperatures, but I doubt it will freeze. Check with a local radon removal system installer to be certain.

absolutely, it purifies air to a greater extent- smoke, cooking smell, etc.

Not a chance. When radon, a gas, is dissolved in water its molecules are too small for any filter. Radon's decay products, on the other hand, are "sticky" and might be caught up by a 1 micron or carbon filter. I copied the following information for you: In drinking water The effects of radon if ingested are similarly unknown, although studies have found that its biological half-life ranges from 30-70 minutes, with 90 percent removal at 100 minutes. In 1999 National Research Council investigated the issue of radon in drinking water. The risks associated with ingestion was considered almost negligible.[122] Water from underground sources may contain significant amounts of radon depending on the surrounding rock and soil conditions, whereas surface sources generally do not.[123] As well as being ingested through drinking water, radon is also released from water when temperature is increased, pressure is decreased and when water is aerated. Optimum conditions for radon release and exposure occur during showering. Water with a radon concentration of 104 pCi/L can increase the indoor airborne radon concentration by 1 pCi/L under normal conditions of water use.[124] filter. Two things are obvious from the above information. Boiling water outdoors would remove the radon gas and showering indoors is going to provide your most dangerous exposure. Being able to rapidly exhaust air during showers should be your highest priority. A good exhaust fan over the cooking area where water is boiled is probably second.

No, but will it you get it wet. Also advisable to use in a well ventilated space, the aerosol is strong & smells awful.

You cannot actually test for radon or any other type of gas for that matter with this tool. This unit only measures pressure. There are manometers on existing radon reduction systems to monitor whether your fan is pulling the gas out at the correct amount or not.

Kari No it does not test actual radon levels , you will need toget a radon detector for that. This only test suction .it is used to test the fan in a radon mediation system .Hope this helps Tont

I don't think it clears air. And the battery doesn't last all that long so if it did work to clear smells it could get to be quite expensive.

We use ours extensively in our main living area and there is NO ODOR. If you choose to turn on the ionization feature (we don't), you will notice a slight difference. Some people believe that ionization "cleans" the air. We don't. We use ours strictly to remove moisture from the air and this unit does a superb job of that. It is the quietest dehumidifier we have found and we would buy another if this one quit.

No. Geiger Counters detect Gamma, Beta and X-Ray radiation. Radon Gas is Alpha particles and you need a special device to detect those properly. RADEX brand carries an easy-to use, highly practical Radon Gas detector: MR106N. Please see our listing here for more details:SIRAD MR-106N Radon Detector (Eng)Best Regards,Dmitry C.Quarta-Rad, Inc.

Yes this Cloud air purifier has an ionizer that emits negative ions. That charges up the particulate in the air and stick to each other. They become weighted and falls to the ground and is vacuumed up with your normal cleaning. So to answer your question yes it will settle out the dust in your home or office. You will not see dust when the sun comes in and lights up the air in your home. Now if you are also looking to remove wood burning odor the Summit ozone air purifier would do the same as the Cloud but with odor killing ozone. Any other questions you can also call me Lou Lombardi toll free 800-868-5534 .

Good Morning! No I am sorry to say it only clears the air directly under your nose. For other areas I use the Holmes air purifier. I love the way they work and they are extremely affordable. Due to breathing and allergy issues we never have the ozone on and we actually put tape so that we do not turn it on accidently. We have been using the original (unscented) Holmes for over 10 years and it is extremely affordable and rinse and vacuum the filter every week or two with a dust buster.

No, but it does purifiy the air! I have one downstairs in the family room by the laundry area where the littery boxes are and one upstairs in the sunroom.

It worked fairly well, i had to clean it several times though..and be careful because it would get caught on the inside.. i would think canned air might work better.

No it do not help clean the dust out the air. It just clean the air of smells pet dander and such.
