How do Negative Ion Generators work?
If you are thinking about investing in indoor air purifiers or air purifiers for homes you will be interested to know that nearly all airborne particles, including dust, smoke, and other harmful air pollutants, have a positive charge, while negative ions have a negative charge.
As a result, of their opposite charges, the negative ions and positive particles magnetically attract each other. The more negative ions there are in the air, the more that stick to the potentially harmful positively charged particles. Eventually, the particles become too weighed down to stay afloat and they fall to earth and removed by normal cleaning activities such as vacuuming. This prevents them from being inhaled, and helps to reduce your risk of respiratory tract irritation and other breathing problems.
In nature, negative ions are created by sunlight, lightening, ocean waves and waterfalls. Ultra-Pure™ indoor Air Purifiers ceramic plate technology is able to electronically generate negative ions at a density even Mother Nature can’t match.
Studies have shown that negative ion generators clear smoke, decrease carbon monoxide levels, reduce infections in hospital emergency rooms, reduce driver fatigue and even help relieve clinical depression.
All very good reasons why indoor air purifiers and air purifiers for homes have grown in popularity.
