Dear Friends, when’s the last time you took a walk in a place with a great view of nature? Well, looking at the picture above, I’m quite sure most of us would need to travel quite some distance to reach such a place!.. So for us city dwellers, probably the nearby city/town park is the closest thing to nature we’ll get if we’re not keen to spend time travelling.
We’ve heard of the goodness of living in nature for its health benefits. Did you know what is one of the main reason for this goodness?
The reason is that there are high levels of Negative ions in places like the mountains, forest, at the beach, near waterfalls, and generally places that generates high levels of negative ions (either naturally or artificially-using an ioniser).
You might be interested to know that the evaporation of water can produce a moderate amount of negative air ions; the small positive charges are left behind in the water… guess that explains why we feel better or more awake after drinking something warm or even at a sauna-’cos the evaporation of water produced a moderate amount of negative air ions which is beneficial to us ;-)
“The normal Ion count in fresh country air is 2,000 to 4,000 negative Ions per cubic centimeter (about the size of a sugar cube). At Yosemite Falls, you’ll experience over 100,000 negative Ions per cubic centimeter. On the other hand, the level is far below 100 per cubic centimeter on the Los Angeles freeways during rush hour.”
“While ionization of the air is mandatory in many European and Russian hospitals and work places, it has only recently come to light in other countries with the growing problem of toxic air in our urban environments.”
” … Negative ion exposure appeared to be associated with feeling better about oneself, less sensitive, and more responsive or innervated (energized).” -Journal of Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicines
Technically Speaking:
- Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature in different ways. One way is when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, or water to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects us the most.
- Ions are not just static electricity! Some web sites claim that, but that is not accurate.
- Negative ions help freshen and purify the air by causing allergens such as pollen, mold spores, dust, and animal dander floating in the air (which have either a neutral or a positive charge) to be attracted to and stick to each other, forming ‘clumps’ (because opposite charges attract). These clumps of particles then become heavy enough so that gravity can pull them down to the floor, where they can be vacuumed up, rather than staying in suspension where they can be breathed in and cause allergic reactions. Because there is no fan (like in filter-type air filters or room air purifiers), the dust on floors and tables is not stirred up, and so the air in a room with a negative ionizer in use can become exceedingly free of dust and pollen. Often, when a negative ionizer is in use, the dust particles that can normally be seen in a sunbeam shining through the window are either partially or totally gone.
- Negative ionization of the air does a superb job of eliminating most tiny particles that float in the air. They are normally suspended in the air (even when the air in the room seems calm) just by the normal convective air currents. You’ve seen dust floating in a beam of sunlight shining in the window, haven’t you? Well, when a high-density negative ionizer (such as our IG-133- series models) is in operation in the room, you see very little (if any) of that. It’s really quite impressive to experience. That is the reason they can help people with allergies: they help remove dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens from the air. Of course, if you have a window open on a windy day and the pollen is blowing in, no negative ionizer will clear the air quickly enough to help anyone.
- Ionized room air does not have to pass through a filter or be circulated by a fan to be cleaned. The negative ions generated by the ionizer emanate from the unit throughout the room and cause dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, etc. to clump together and drop out of the air.
- In a filter-type purifier with a fan or blower, only the air that goes through the filter can be cleaned. And even then, the tiniest particles still can flow through the filter. These tiny particulates can be better removed by ionization than filtering, even HEPA (acronym for “high efficiency particulate air”) filters.
But why in the world are they called NEGATIVE ions?
After all,
- Negative ions can have a positive effect on people.
- But positive ions can have a negative effect on people.
Furthermore,
- An atom that has one of its normal orbiting electrons removed is called a positive ion. (Doesn’t “positive” imply that something has been added?)
- But an atom that has an extra electron added is called negative ion. (Doesn’t “negative” imply that something has been removed?)
So you see, it’s really kind of backwards; the terms Negative and Positive are actually reversed, in this context. It’s a misnomer that we can blame on Benjamin Franklin (so we hear) who lived in the 1700’s. Back in his time, electrons (with a “negative” charge) and atoms were not understood correctly. But the word negative is still being used this way; to this day, an atom with an extra electron is still called a negative ion. So, we’re all still stuck with this 18th century terminology, and that’s why they’re called “negative ions”.
