Our latest tale of convergence finds our two unlikely heroes, the air ionizer and the CFL lightbulb being forced to work together and achieve the ultimate bright and clean air household. The Viatek Ionic is a 15-watt light bulb that comes with another handy feature, and it's an air ionizer.
Air iodizes work by emitting powerful ions that attach to the pollutants in the air and forcing the bad smelling pollutants to drop to the ground and eventually be vacuumed up.
Each light bulb sells for $15, and unfortunately, according to our own Charlie White, doesn't work so well. Then again, White's house could just be too clean or too dirty for a tiny air ionizer to have any effect.

Correction: Change it from an air iodizing to ionizing. Nobody wants to be sprayed with iodine from lightbulbs.

Iodizing? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Try 'ionizing'

Do you mean "iodizing" (spraying iodine)(not likely), or "ionizing" (spraying ions)(more likely)?
I don't know what the word is for "spraying mercury".

Air iodizes work by emitting powerful iodine crystals into the air.

To the author: What is wrong with this society is the incredible number of people who count on their government to educate and protect them. Iodine is necessary in the body. Iodine deficiency is rampant in America. Irradiated Iodine is a poison. Natural Iodine is not. The Gov't would have you believe that it is ALL bad for you. So, go on you misguided,mis informed sheep.
