How do Negative ions work? Negatively-charged negative ions attach themselves to contaminates and allergens, which are positively-charged. The newly-formed larger particles are then able to fall to the ground, and out of the air we breathe. Most floating contaminates and allergens are positively charged, and of course, negative ions are negatively charged. In environments where high densities of negative ions exist, they are able to reverse the charge of floating contaminates to a negative charge. This results in a magnetic attraction among the floating pollutants in the air, causing them to aggregate, or clump together. As a result, they become too heavy to remain floating in the air, and fall harmlessly to the ground, where they cannot find their way into your respiratory tract. At this point, even if they are inhaled before falling out of the air, these now larger particles are able to be intercepted by the filters of the upper respiratory tract, due to their increased size. Of course, without a continual generation of negative ions, some of these enlarged pollutants can find their way back into the air. Heaven Fresh air purification systems are designed for continual use, ensuring pollutants stay out of the air you breathe. Some studies suggest that negative ions also have a biological effect on bacteria and viruses, killing them on contact in many cases. Showroom open all day.0402 751 242
