Nowadays, more and more urban residents complain of weak immunity and persistent headaches. The cause of these problems is the quality of the air we breathe. Due to the large concentration of cars, industrial enterprises and household electrical appliances, the microclimate in our homes is changing. Since school, we know that any substance consists of the smallest particles - ions.
Particles can have both positive and negative charges. The sanitary standards say that 1 cm3 indoor air should contain 400 positive ions and 400 negative. But due to general atmospheric pollution, there is an overabundance of positive ions and a lack of negative ones.
A room ionization device is a device that saturates the air with negative ions. Curiously, the same process occurs during a thunderstorm. Have you noticed that after a thunderstorm, the air becomes cleaner and wetter? This is a consequence of saturation with negative ions.
The air we breathe and its value to our health
Have you ever wondered why people living in rural areas, in the mountains, by the sea, are healthier than urban residents? The reason is the purity of the air, in the correct ratio of positively and negatively charged ions. Most of our chronic diseases are caused by the polluted atmosphere of our cities.
Positive ions and their importance for our health
An excess of positive ions in an enclosed space is the most favorable environment for the development of acute respiratory and viral infections and other diseases. It also leads to increased nervousness and the appearance of chronic headaches. Reduces performance and efficiency.
Negative ions and their impact on our health
Saturated with negative charged particles, the air is incredibly healthy. It prevents the spread of viral diseases, strengthens the human immune system (especially children), helps to overcome diseases such as asthma and pneumonia.
Important! Ionization of rooms with a large crowd of people reduces the risk of transmission of acute respiratory diseases by 25-30%
Ionization - a means of improving air quality
In the process of ionization, the quantity and quality of oxygen in the inhaled air increases. The risk of disease transmission is reduced (by airborne droplets). In addition, due to a change in the percentage of oxygen in the medium, the head ceases to hurt, the working capacity increases and nervousness decreases.
How does an ionizing device change the indoor climate?
There is a process of saturation with negatively charged ions. How it works? The ionizer creates a high voltage between the electrodes. Passing through the electrodes, the gas is split into thousands of negative (O2) and positive (H) ions.
When is the ionization process necessary?
In rooms with a large crowd of people (offices, supermarkets, kindergartens, schools, institutes, hospitals ...). In rooms where electrical appliances work (computers, microwaves, refrigerators, air conditioners ...).
For which groups of people is the use of ionizers recommended?
The use of ionizing devices is recommended to all urban residents! But it is especially necessary for people suffering from respiratory diseases and children.
What seasons should ionizers be used in?
It is especially important to ionize the rooms:
- During the heating season.
- During the spread of acute respiratory infections.
- In the hot season.
Important! Ionizers cause dust and other substances that pollute the air to settle down. If you are using an ionizer, regularly do wet cleaning and wipe the rest of the surface.
Who is contraindicated to use an ionizer?
You can not use the ionizer in rooms where there are: people with fever, people with pneumonia in the acute stage and having disorders of the central nervous system.
The value of using an ionizer
Doctors and environmental scientists say that using a room ionizer will significantly improve indoor air quality, prevent the spread of infectious and viral diseases, and improve the health status of those in the room. As the studies show, in people, in ionized rooms, the level of stress decreased, working capacity increased, headache disappeared.
What is the difference between an ionizer and a humidifier with an ionization function?
Ionizers enrich the room with negative ions, but do not solve the problem of dry air. On the other hand, classic humidifiers increase the humidity of the microclimate, but do not solve the issue of increased concentration of positive ions. The best solution would be to purchase a humidifier that will have an ionization function.
