My understanding is that silica will not take a charge (this is why it is
used for electrical insulators) and so the electronic air cleaners will not
take care of free silica in the studio, which is the main thing you want to
get rid of...

Subject: Studio Fresh 'Alpine Air' anyone
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Dear Readers:
I have recently been offered a clean air system to be installed in my
pottery studio. Although the system seems complicated to me, it is supposed
to produce or activate some kind of ions or electrically-charged particles,
either positive or negative and remove from the environment-dust, smoke,
pollen, pet dander, and particulate while oxidizing bacteria, chemical
gases, mold, mildew, fungus, and odors. The product makes claims to lower
the toxic index level of your surroundings by creating fresh air similiar to
that found in nature. The mechanism or 'box' is a little expensive and I
also wonder if it is a hoax? Does anyone have any input on the ALPINE air
purification system and the 'Clean air zone'? Or can someone point to some
agency or consumer group who might be able to tell me if this is a good
system for the studio potter. Can anyone advise me on WHAT might be a good
filtration system for the active potter?
Any input will be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Llewellyn Kouba
