FYI. There have been reports that the so-called electronic air
cleaners that emit "negative ions" damage rubber products in short
order. For example a pinch roller on a 6 mo old VCR that aged 20
years or a one-month-old drive belt that was crumbling. Other
reports are of rapidly failing rubber seals windows and disintegrating
carpet pads. What was in common with all these reports were various
models of negative-ion air cleaners that had been recently
installed. It seems that the ions penetrate every crevice and
will attack rubber.
