Negative Ions 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, an electron is ejected 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. 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. But an atom that has an extra electron added is called a negative ion. Effects of Negative Ion Exposure * Negative ions in a room cause dust, pollen, tobacco smoke, molds, and other allergens to stick together and fall to the floor, or to be attracted to objects in the room. * Studies have shown that some people become very depressed when negative ion counts are very low (seasonal depression) or when positive ion counts are high (such as in front of a computer monitor). * Our modern homes and offices seal out negative ions. Computer terminals, fluorescent lighting, forced air ventilation systems, and modern building materials generate an over abundance of positive ions. Positive ions make us feel tired, depressed and irritable. * Balancing ionization in your home may help combat the ill feelings associated with our stressful lifestyles. The world’s most tranquil and refreshing regions are loaded with billions of negative ions. Air near waterfalls, mountains, beaches and forests are among those places where ionization levels are in complete and natural balance. * Scientific studies have shown that atmospheres charged with positive ions relieve hay-fever and asthma symptoms, seasonal depression, fatigue and headaches. Its also been shown that negatively ionized atmospheres improve performance of voluntar
