it depends on the one you choose.
some are just 'on' or 'off' - in which
case if it gets to be annoying, i just
turn it off.  or i will run it when i am
not using that room... then when i
am in the room, i will turn it off.  
i have one that has a hi and lo switch.
when i moved into a condo i'd purchased
several years ago, i had new windows,
new paint, new carpets, new tile, new
everything... and i had two tall
negative ion generators.  i ran them
throughout the remodel all day and
night until i moved in.  when i did move
in, the odors were gone.  that type of
negative ion generator did not last
long, tho.  it was from that place -
that's supposed to be really hip and
cool... oh, yeah, the sharper image.  
the ones with fans don't do as well as
the ones that are simply sitting there
generating negative ions.  
love, patricia

>>> Thanks Steve.  I think you may have misread my previous post though.  I said that I was thinking the MCS issues were harder to fix so I think you are disagreeing rather than agreeing.  I don't think air filters are able to filter some things that bother people with MCS due to the particle size being too small.  If there is recent paint on the walls or formaldehyde offgassing from particle board cabinets or low levels of combustion products entering the living area from an oil boiler or gas furnace I don't know if an air filter can make that environment safe.  I guess the same thing can be said for EMF issues though...that there are some problems that shielding or protection devices or whatever won't resolve.
