It is the same principle as people using the word 'germs'. To most folk who aren't into A-level literacy, this cover anything i.e. Pathogens, bacteria, viruses etc., I don't think it matters how literally correct we are, (especially when one is upset and ill) as long as we understand what a person means.

There are ions, atoms and particles and they are different things. I do not think it is nick picking when someone uses the wrong words. An ion is an incomplete atom and yes it will be smaller than an atom. Most homemade generators produce mostly ions.
