About Ionization
|
The principle behind ionization is better health through cleaner air. In your home, you live in an enclosed area. The air around you is electrically charged by positive ions and negative ions. Studies have shown that your mood can be affected by the ratio of positive to negative ions in the air.
The term electrical smog was created to describe the side effect of having many electrical products in your home. Your computer, television, air conditioner, and other machines create positive ions in the air which can upset the balance of ions in the air. If you have ever breathed the fresh air after a light spring rain, you know how that kind of air feels fresh and makes you feel relaxed puts you in a better mood. The air in urban cities doesn't feel as fresh because there is only 100 to 120 negative ions in a cubic centimeter. Compare that with the air by a waterfall which has 4000 negative ions per cubic centimeter.
In addition to making the air feel fresh, negative ions clean the air of pollution and dust. The negative charge on the ions attracts the dust, pollen, smoke, mold, and other particles in the air. These particles come together and fall to the ground as they become heavier making the air cleaner. This benefit will help anyone with breathing conditions such as asthma, hay fever, and other disorders.
