Does air travelling via a simple fan (no ionizer) through an electrostatic filter (like Filtrete) get ionized?

Just to clarify a prior question, I had; I’ve heard that ionized air can be potentially harmful (i.e. free radicals) so I want to avoid air cleaners that ionize air. The 3M Filtrete electrostatic polyolefin-based filters (very common in furnace filters, and now as part of a standalone air purifier) are pre-charged with a static charge to attract dirt, dust, and particles of inflowing air.

My question is, as non-ionized (regular) air travels through the filter (via a simple fan, there is no ionizer involved) is there any way that it could pick up any of the charge on the electrostatic filter, or that the air can become somewhat ionized in any way or form after it leaves the filter? Now, AFAIK, air doesn’t conduct charges well, so my guess would be no, but I’d like to have an expert opinion.

Do you have a chi machine or ionizer?

Since it’s not possible for all of us to live in the mountains, Chi machines are a good for city dwellers. They are still relatively unknown in India, in China these machines are in widespread use, especially in hospitals. They are high-end ionizers, which spew out negative ions. In Japan and the West, they sometimes also have air cleaners attached with blower motors.

Negative ions attach themselves to anything floating in the air and cause the pollutants and negative energy to be neutralized Chi machines, in USA, they are used in space programs. Research has shown that ionizers in space capsules keep the astronauts alert and energized.
