Negative Ions - Vitamin of the Air
Negative Ion has been recognized as “the vitamin of the air”, confirming its health effect on human. Ionic research from leading institutions, along with worldwide clinical studies have proven its therapeutic effect. The concentration of negative ions in our living environment has been long observed to be correlated closely to the human health. Negative Ion also has been used as an important indicator for air and environment quality. Correlation between Concentrations of Negative Ions

The world of the Positive Ions is oxidizing ---> putrefying --> deteriorating, which is devastating on many things. Whereas the world of negative ions is reducing --> constructing --> reviving, capable of enhancing the healthy growth of plants and animals including human. The extremity effect of both ions is out of our expectation when it is first known to us.

Effects of Negative Ions on Environment
Effect of Negative Ions can be viewed from two aspects : direct and indirect effect of it on our health. Large amount of Negative Ions are able to purify the air and thus providing a healthier living environment. While negative ions that enters human body has a direct health and healing effect.

It is known to science that negative ions can purify the air. Negative Ion air purifier has been in the market for about 50 years. Its effectiveness in purifying air is due to:
Antimicrobial property:
able to absorb various bacteria and viruses, resulting in structural changes and energy transformation, leading to the death of the microbes. It also at the same time inhibits the growth of bacteria and moulds.
Removing airborne contaminants:
able to absorb many floating airborne contaminants including pollen, dust, dust mites, and smoke particles which carry the positive charge, as the neutralized particles become heavier, they settled down onto the floor. Especially effective in reducing the harm of secondary cigarette smoke.
Removing harmful or toxic gases:
able to breakdown toxic gases released from furniture and building materials e.g. formaldehyde, ammonia and benzene, at the same time eliminating the odor.
Deodorize:
odours are usually due to microbial action and some toxic gases, with the sterilizing power and removal of toxic gases, negative ions are very effective deodorants.
Refreshing air:
by neutralizing the positive ions in the air, the air becomes fresh and giving the cool and soothing feeling.
