How Do Ion's Work?
Fresh Air & Negative Ions
One of the distinct differences between "fresh" outdoor air and
"stale" indoor air is the balance of negative ions versus positive ions. The
freshest outdoor air has high concentrations of negative ions — specifically, oxygen
molecules with an extra electron attached — and relatively few positive ions (oxygen
with an electron stripped away).
High concentrations of negative ions are found
in the most invigorating outdoor places — evergreen forests, around waterfalls, on
beaches with crashing surf, or anywhere after thunderstorms, when the air seems almost
crisp and spicy with freshness!
At the other extreme, positive ions are found
in high concentrations inside closed, air-conditioned and heated buildings, and outdoors
in cities during rush hours (pollution depletes negative ions).
Many believe that this balance of negative
ions versus positive ions may someday be controlled indoors — just as we currently
regulate indoor air's humidity and temperature. In this way, we would hope to restore our
homes and work environments to something more like those refreshing outdoor places.
U.S. Dept. of Agriculture
A recent study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found that ionizing a room led to 52% less
dust in the air, and 95% less bacteria in the air (since many of the pollutants found in
the air reside on floating dust particles).
The U.S.D.A. also performed another study to
test the effectiveness of negative ionization at removing airborne Salmonella Enteritidis.
The negative ions drastically reduced the airborne salmonella particles, prompting the
following statement from the USDA:
"These results indicate that negative air
ionization can have a significant impact on the airborne microbial load in a poultry house
and at least a portion of this effect is through direct killing of the
organisms."

EFFECTIVENESS
A year long study by eminent researchers
in air pollution science has concluded that Wein ionic air cleaners can
substantially reduce the inhalation of toxic particles such as smoke,
dust, pollens, molds, many allergens, fungi, germs and the most
dangerous particles that would otherwise remain trapped in the lungs.
This study was performed by leading authorities in air pollution
research in laboratories that have no equal in this country that are
used by EPA, NIH, OSHA, CDC, NIOSH, HUD, NIST, and NATO Wearable and
stationary ionic air cleaners from three different manufacturers were
evaluated and the results and conclusions reviewed
by experts.
SAFETY
Ozone levels have been tested as safe by
Underwriters Laboratories, USA, Fuji Testing Laboratories, Japan,
University of Southern California, Advanced Pollution Instruments, USA.
