What are the Causes and effects of negative ion exposure and depletion?
EFFECTS OF NEGATIVE ION EXPOSURE A high negative ion exposure appeared associated with feeling better about self, less sensitive, and more responsive or innervated (energized).The introduction of negative ion generation increased the subjective rating of alertness, atmospheric freshness, and environmental and personal warmth. CAUSES OF NEGATIVE ION DEPLETION The picture tubes (CRTs) in computer monitors and TVs deplete the air of negative ions. So does the airflow through furnace ducts and air conditioning systems. Research has also shown that polluted areas both indoors and outdoors have very low levels of negative ions, and very high levels of positive ions. It would seem that all or most of the available negative ions had been used up in their fight with contaminants. Dry hot winds (like the famed Santa Ana, or Witches’ Winds) also deplete negative ions from the air.
