Soft x-ray electrostatic precipitator filters and kills everything it catches

[AussieNeil]

How long before we can buy one of these for home use?

From the article:

"Help may be on the way for people with compromised immune systems, severe allergies, or who otherwise have to be wary of airborne nasties. A team of scientists have created something known as a soft x-ray electrostatic precipitator, or an SXC ESP for short. It filters all manner of bacteria, allergens, viruses, and ultrafine particles from the air – plus, it kills everything it catches..."

Interesting - Probably a while before we will be able to buy - the air ionizers certainly do help clear the air - they go black very quickly - but don't kill what they catch. Leaving an onion out is also thought to work - hence you should not eat raw onions that have been left out

Which one's the urban legend? Frankly i wouldn't eat anything that had been left out (-:
