Negative Ions - Health Revitalizer and Air Purification Agent

What is negative ions or anions?

Firstly, do you feel extra refreshing and energizing in front of a waterfall, near a stream or in a forest? I am sure many of you will say Yes and had that experience before. What is the making the place so special?

The reason is the high presence of negative ions, or anions, at those place. Many people has called negative ions the vitamin of the air or ginseng in the air.

Benefit of negative ions

Negative ions are molecules that have gained an electrical charge. Negative ions has 2 important qualities:

• They are beneficial to health though inhalation and absorbtion.

• They are very efficient air cleaners, particularly of the small size, hazardous particles.

Effect of Negative Ions to Health

Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Recent research has shown that negative ions can produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

"Generally speaking, negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy," says Pierce J. Howard, PhD, author of The Owners Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from Mind Brain Research and director of research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C.

A recent study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found that ionizing a room led to 52% less dust in the air, and 95% less bacteria in the air (since many of the pollutants found in the air reside on floating dust particles).

In conclusion, negative ions or anions have wonderful power to refresh you both physically and mentally. It neutralizes oxidation and provides healthy cells’ surroundings to prevent oxidation of human body, and also effects on hangover, headache, stress and diseases.

Natural Air Purification through Negative Ions without Filter

Negative ions can be generated using an ionizer. The ions leaving the ionizer are small, high velocity ones. As we have known in the previous paragraphy, these ions are found to be most beneficial to health. Now, we are going to show you how efficient they are in air purification.

As the negative ions leave the ionizer at high velocity, they collide with particles of smoke or pollution in the air, they pass on their "static" charge. This particle is then strongly attracted to the nearest "earthed" surface, which could be a wall or the shelf on which the ionizer is placed. This is the stage 1 of air purification. You can then wash or clean the wall or shelf to remove the pollutants.

Next, as the ions travel further into the room, they naturally begin to slow down. As they drift, pollutants such as dust, pollen, cigarette smoke and even vapourised substances like aerosol propellants and car fumes are attracted to and cluster around the ions. This has the effect of making the ion grow in size. There comes a point where it is too heavy to be carried in the air, so it falls to the ground. The ability of an ionizer to remove very fine particles from the air makes it extremely valuable for health. This stage 2 of air purification completes the cleaning of air in the whole room.

Recent studies indicate that the smaller the particle, the harder it is for our immune systems to cope with. So ionizers have a "double action" effect. They excel at removing the most harmful microscopic particles and at the same time they restore a "vitality" to the air - which our bodies appear to need for their everyday functioning.

What to look out for when buying an air ionizer?

In order to start benefiting from negative ions, it is also advised that a minimum threshold of ions concentration is required. This standard figure is 1000 ions per cc of air. This is very important when you are looking for an air ionizer.

Another very important point to be aware of is: A badly designed ionizer may produce ozone, and with it nitrous oxide. These are toxic substances and can cause respiratory difficulties and stinging eyes (often the very thing they were purchased to cure). Based on international environmental standard, the maximum acceptable level of ozone is 0.05ppm (parts per million).

Having said that, we are proudly introduce to you the world latest Negative Ions Air Purifier that produces millions of negative ions. Not only that, we are also proud to tell you that it is OZONE FREE for you to gain the maximum benefit of negative ions.
