1. An air purification system including:
- a housing;
a filter operatively communicating with the housing;
a first ionizer in communication with the housing;
an air movement mechanism for directing airflow through the housing;
a fluid emitting mechanism within the housing in fluid communication with the airflow from the air movement mechanism that has a plurality of fluid reservoirs arranged in contact with a substrate that can selectively contact one or more of the plurality of fluid reservoirs; and
a second ionizer in fluid communication with the air movement mechanism.

Abstract
Systems for and methods of providing air purification and cleaning in combination with odor elimination in a single unit, such as a tabletop unit for home or office use, are disclosed. The air cleaning device includes a housing, an air intake port, an air movement mechanism, a pre-ionizer, a filter, a post-ionizer, an air exhaust port, and a flow chamber for holding a compound such as an odor elimination supply. An air movement mechanism, ozone removal mechanism, and/or filter/odor elimination assembly may also be present.

14. An air cleaning device comprising;
-
a housing having an inner housing cavity; an air intake port in fluid communication with the inner cavity of the housing; an upstream ionizer in fluid communication with the air intake port; a filter after the upstream ionizer; an air movement mechanism after the filter; a downstream ionizer within the cavity; a flow chamber connected to the cavity having a head space and a metering orifice in fluid communication with the head space and the cavity; an odor elimination supply having a plurality of odor elimination compounds, and a selector that is selectively engaged with one or more of the plurality of odor elimination compounds and is in fluid communication with the flow chamber; a deflector within the cavity to deflect flow of odor elimination material from the flow chamber; an air exhaust port in fluid communication with the cavity.

15. An air cleaning device comprising;
-
a housing having a first port for intaking air from a room, an inner cavity in fluid communication with the first port, and a second port in fluid communication with the inner cavity; a mechanism for ionizing air that enters the first port; a filter for filtering air within the cavity; an air movement mechanism drawing air through the cavity; a chamber for introducing a flow of an odor elimination material from an odor elimination supply having two or more odor elimination compounds and a selector that is selectively engaged with one or more of the plurality of odor elimination compounds to a head space in through a orifice that controls the flow into the cavity; and a second mechanism for ionizing the air within the cavity; wherein filtered and treated air is exhausted through the second port.

16. An air purification system including:
-
a housing; a filter operatively communicating with the housing; a first ionizer in communication with the housing; an air movement mechanism for directing airflow through the housing; a second ionizer in fluid communication with the air movement mechanism, an odor elimination (OE) compound in a supply; a light to indicate the filter needs changing or the OE supply has been depleted; a metering orifice and a deflector to provide a mechanism for controlling a level of odor elimination treatment delivered into a filtered air stream; and a treatment control knob manipulated by a user to select an odor elimination level by adjusting the metering orifice.
