Airborne pathogens, though a minor fraction of airborne particles, can cause infections, intoxications, or allergic reactions through respiration, dermal contact, ingestion. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has underscored the significance mitigating microbial threats. Traditional air ionization methods, such as dielectric barrier discharge and metal tip corona discharge, produce ozone, reactive potentially harmful byproduct. However, carbon-fiber ionizers (CFIs) generate high concentrations ions with minimal ozone production, making them safer alternative. Operating at voltages below 5 kV, CFIs are more efficient than their metallic counterparts. This review focuses on antimicrobial efficacy CFIs, which unipolar that disrupt membranes, leading to cell death. Compared ultraviolet light sterilization, cost-effective suitable for small spaces. literature highlights need comprehensive studies evaluate real-world application effectiveness CFIs. Many existing limited by small-scale testing insufficient data reporting, complicating comparative analyses. Our work aims provide detailed perspective examining impact various microorganisms, ion efficacy, outcomes, generation levels. By addressing these aspects, seeks offer an updated understanding CFIs’ capabilities identify limitations in current research, paving way informed effective purification strategies.
