Air Purifying Gadgets

USB Ionizer Fan

— June 6, 2008 — Tech
Gone are the days when fresh air surrounded us. The air we breathe today is full of pollutants and dust particles which are harmful to our health, especially to our lungs. If this concerns you, you'll be interested in the USB Ionizer Fan with Aroma Diffuser. The device connects to a computer via a USB port and helps purify the air. It eliminates foul odors, dust particles and other air pollutants.

The $19 USB Ionizer Fan can be used in your car, office and at home. When you are traveling and don't have access to a USB port, it can also be run on two AA batteries.

This is a nice way of giving our lungs a break, but if we want a long-term solution, we might as well start taking care of our environment.
