The plasma air purifier is an apparatus that simultaneously produces positive ions and negative ions in order to eliminate bacteria, viruses and odors in the air of the surrounding environment. The apparatus includes a housing, a discharge plate, a discharge needle array, a microcontroller, and a power supply. The housing encloses the discharge needle array, the microcontroller, and the power supply, allowing the apparatus to be easily incorporated into a variety of environments and easily transported. The discharge plate is mounted onto the housing via at least one first pillar and at least one second pillar. The discharge plate produces negative ions, and the discharge needle array produces positive ions. The discharge needle array is electronically connected to the microcontroller. The power supply is electrically connected to the microcontroller and the discharge plate. The discharge needle array is electrically connected to the power supply through the microcontroller.
