It is also cheaper to manufacture. Compared to photoelectric smoke detectors, it consumes less power so a small battery can power it for month and is independent of external wiring. Since ionization type smoke detectors can detect particles smaller than smoke particles, they are prone to false alarms. Ionic smoke detectors use a radioactive isotope americium 241, and rules on proper disposal vary in each region. Some European countries have banned ionic smoke detectors. Most photoelectric smoke detectors run on AC power circuits meaning the users have to install the wirings around the house.
