1. Unipolar Ion Emission Enhances Respiratory Protection Against Fine and Ultrafine Particles, Journal of Aerosol Science, 35(11):1359-1368.
   - Lee, B.U., Yermakov, M., and Grinshpun, S.A. (2004)
   Respiratory protection of N95 and Surgical Masks enhanced significantly by use of Wein VI-2500 Vortex Ionic AirPurifier.
2. Evaluation of Ionic Air Purifiers for Reducing Aerosol Exposure in Confined Indoor Spaces, Indoor Air, in print.
   - Grinshpun, S.A., Mainelis, G., Trunov, Adhikari, A., Reponen, T., and Willeke, K. (2005)
   The AS150MM (FAB), VI-2500 Automate and Sanimate were shown to significantly reduce the aerosol concentration (down to virus size) in the breathing zone. Any air condition or air mixing enhanced the air cleaning effect.
3. Removal of Fine and Ultrafine Particles from Indoor Air Environments by the Unipolar Ion Emission, Atmospheric Environment, 38:4815-4823.
   - Lee, B.U., Yermakov, M., and Grinshpun, S.A. (2004)
   Wein AS150MM (FAB) and VI-2500 Ionic Air Purifiers were found efficient in removing fine and ultra fine particles from indoor air of a typical room.
4. Filtering Efficiency of N95- and R95-Type Facepiece Respirators, Dust-Mist Facepiece Respirators, and Surgical Masks Operating in Unipolarly Ionized Indoor Air Environments, International Journal for Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 5(3):27-40.
   - Lee, B.U., Yermakov, M., and Grinshpun, S.A. (2005)
   AS150MM (FAB) Minimate and VI-2500 Vortex Ionic roon cleaners were shown to significantly reduce the penetration efficiency of even the smallest viral particles by about 3000 fold for N95, R95, dust-mist respirators and surgical masks, with zero additional breathing restrictions.
5. Effect of Wearable Ionizers on the Concentration of Respirable Airborne Particles and Microorganisms, Proceedings of the European Aerosol Conference (Leipzig, Germany, September 3-7, 2001), Journal of Aerosol Science, 32 (Suppl.1):335-336.
   - Grinshpun, S.A., Mainelis, G., Reponen, T., Willeke, K., Trunov M.A., and Adhikari, A. (2001)
   The particle removal efficiency of the AS150MM Minimate (FAB) reached almost 100% in a walk in chamber.
6. Indoor Air Pollution Control Through Ionization, IN: Air Pollution: Modeling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution (Ed: C.A. Brebbia), WIT Press, Southampton, U.K.:689-704.
   - Grinshpun, S.A., Adhikari, A., Lee, B.U., Trunov, M., Mainelis, G., Yermakov, M., and Reponen, T. (2004)
   The data for the AS150MM Minimate (FAB) on the physical and bactericidal efficiencies of the ion emission suggest that the reduction in the indoor aerosol concentration combined with the germ inactivation can significantly reduce human exposure to indoor air pollutants. This reduces the risk of adverse health effects.
7. Evaluation of the Ionic Air Purification Efficiency by the Electrical Low Pressure Impactor (ELPI), Program Addendum to the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Aerosol Research – Late Breakings (Anaheim, California, U.S.A., October 20-24, 2003), LB20.
   - Lee, B.U., Yermakov, M., and Grinshpun, S.A. (2003)
   AS150MM Minimate (FAB) and VI-2500 Vortex Ion Generators demonstrate significant air purifying efficiency and removed about 97% of even virus sized particles in a room sized indoor test chamber.
