I am teaching in a high school this year. 4 sessions of ceramics. I have
sensitive lungs and am concerned about the constant dust. The custodians
do a pretty good job, but we mix clay daily in a pug mill and though there
is a vent fan it is not really adequate. Plus 25 students can make a lot
of dust through the day.
Have any of you had any experience with ionizing air cleaners in studio or
school?

This is a response to Bob Pulley's question
about ionizing air cleaners in the classroom.
Bob,
About a month ago I posted a request for information about
air cleaners for my home studio. You might want to look up that
thread in reference.com. In my research I found the following
useful information:
Bailey's sells air cleaners, and their catalog has a lot of
information about what to look for. Bailey's sells HEPA and HEPA-type
cleaners. You might want to get their catalog - there are about 6 pages
on air cleaning systems, plus several more on shop vacs, etc.
1-800-431-6067.
Also, the October,1992 issue of Consumer Reports had reviews of
air cleaners. The way they describe ionizing air cleaners sounds to me
like it wouldn't be a good thing for clay - larger particles are trapped
in the pre-filter, but smaller particles end up clinging to the walls
and furniture. They list low engery and filter costs as advantages, and
soiled walls and furniture as disadvantages.
