3 What is an ion?

An ion is an atom or a group of atoms carrying an electric charge. Positively charged
ions are called positive ions and negatively charged ions are called negative ions.
How do negative ions clean the air?
Most particles in the air have a positive charge or are positively ionized, whereas neg-
ative ions have a negative charge. Negative ions bond with positively charged particles
by magnetic attraction. When the air contains a concentration of negative ions which is
high enough, it attracts high quantities of these suspended particles. The particles then
become too heavy to remain suspended in the air. As a result, the particles are removed
from the air, out of the breathing zone and the respiratory passages where they can
cause breathing difficulties and health problems.
Advantages of negative ions
•
Negative ions raise the oxygen flow.
•
Negative ions clean the air by removing smoke and particles from the air.
•
Air cleaned by negative ions leads to greater vigilance, less drowsiness and more mental
