Abstract
A hand dryer assembly including a blower assembly for generating a moving air stream. The moving air stream passes through an air channel to an air outlet where it exits the hand dryer assembly. An ionization assembly is disposed along the air channel and emits charged ions directly into the moving air stream, sanitizing the hands of the user, the moving air steam, and the ambient air that is entrained into the moving air stream.
