I am interested in getting a large sized ion generating unit,
electrostatic filter, of the type that installs in the heating
air conditioning ductwork. Units of this type are/were sold
as kits by Heath and some home improvement stores.
My questions are the following:
Do these units generate a great deal of electrical interference
and power line noise, such that they would harm my computer or
affect TV reception?
How effective are the kit units in cleaning up the dust in the air?
I.e. will they save me dusting and vacuuming?
Are there any health risks that outweigh the cleaner air?
  
Please reply by mail
