What is a negative ion generator?
Negative ion generators introduce negatively charged electrons to oxygen molecules to offset the abundance of positive ions emitted by devices such as computers and air conditioners.How They WorkNegative ions are generated when oxygen strikes highly charged wires or plates inside the unit. As oxygen hits the electrical charge, it sprays negative ions into the air that bond with oxygen molecules exiting the unit.Air CleanersNegative ions naturally bind with bacteria, pollen or dust particles, adding weight to oxygen molecules so they sink to the ground and can be removed with normal cleaning. This is beneficial for respiratory patients and asthma sufferers.Use for DepressionIn northern latitudes where Seasonal Affective Depression (SAD) is an issue, patients exposed to negative ion generators show beneficial effects typical of anti-depressant drugs, but without the side effects.Improve PerformanceNegative ion generators stimulate alpha waves in the brain to enhance concentration and inc
