Knowledge of Negative Ion

What is negative ion?
So-called negative ion is electronegative corpuscule. For example, corpuscule with positive electricity in the air is called positive ion, while corpuscule with negative electricity in the air is called negative ion. But corpuscule is atom with electron in pelagic air. In the air, tiny water molecules and oxygen molecules with negative electricity can combine to generate negative ions that can promote the metabolism when coming into human blood through lung. That’s why people will feel better when they are in forest or close to waterfall.
What factors does the concentration of negative ions in the air have relation with?
In the natural air, the concentration of negative ions depends on the climate, geographical conditions and atmosphere pollutions, etc. According to tests, the concentration of negative ions reaches its highest data from June to September, and reaches its lowest data from Jan. to March. In the rest months, it varies between the two data above. Generally, on the surface of the earth, the concentration of negative ions is about several thousand pcs per one cubic centimeter. It is only 10~30pcs/cm3 in metropolitan theater, 40~50pcs/ cm3 in metropolitan room, 100~200pcs/cm3 in the green belt, 400~600pcs/cm3 in the park, 700~1000/ cm3 in the suburb and 20000pcs/cm3 or more in the seashore, valley, waterfall area.
Negative ion in the air is absolutely necessary to human being just like sunshine. The life of negative ion is very short, it’s about a few minutes in clean air and only a few seconds in dirty environment or even shorter. In the open fields, seashores, country, water and spring areas its life can reach to more than 20 minutes, because in these areas the air pressure is smaller and the dust is fewer, so more negative ions can be generated from the air. The World Health Organization advises that the concentration of negative ion in fresh air shouldn’t be below 1000~1500pcs/cm3. However, due to too many cement road surface, large vehicle flow rate, industrial pollutions and high population density, etc., the concentration of positive ions such as suspending granules, germina and dust, etc., will increase, and the concentration of negative ions will obviously decrease. That can lower the quality of air and affect health level of human body.
What symptoms will the decrease of the concentration of negative ions in rooms cause?
1. When you get up in the morning, if you feel hard to breathe, nausea, light headedness, or your blood pressure is higher than usual
2.There is some smell excitative to your nose or eyes, and this smell is hard to dispel for a long time.
3.Insomnia, dysfunction of autonomic nerve, functional nerve disease, feeling dizzy or headachy or fretful.
4.Inappetence, functions of immunity lower, body resistibility lowers, easy to feel tired, always catch cold, the skin is sensitive.
5.You don’t smoke, but you always feel uncomfortable with you throat, always cough, and can’t breathe smoothly.
6.Plants at home are difficult to live, most of your family members have the same disease that will disappear or affect you less when you leave away from home.
Learning from the nature, people start to generate negative ions through artificial ways. These man-made negative ions are put into around the air around to purify the air and improve living environment. The equipment with man-made way to generate negative ions is called air negative ion generator or negative ion generator.
Working elements of negative ion generator
The generation of negative ions is that negative ion generator makes low pressure through boosted circuit to direct current negative high pressure, and utilizes tip direct current high pressure to produce high corona, rapidly release mass electrons, which will be immediately caught by oxygen molecule (O2) in the air, and forms high strength negative ion group, and combines with bug cells in the air to transfer energy from inside the cell, modify structure, cause its death, and centralize breathable particles in the air, such as smog, dust and pollen, etc and naturally subside, so as to reach the aim of purifying air.
What performance index does negative ion generator have?
Main performance index to measure good or bad of negative ion generator:
(1) Concentration of negative ions: containing negative ions volume for per ml air, namely pcs/cm3. Requirement of index: the concentration of negative ions in the place where is 20cm away from the uptake should be bigger than 105 pcs/cm3.
(2) Ozone content: It is benefit for human body health to maintain minim ozone, if it is excessive, it will be harmful. According to national standard the strength of ozone, in the place where is 5cm away from the window plane, it is not bigger than 60ppb (1ppm=106, 1ppb=109). The content of ozone for better negative ion generator should be smaller than 0. 05ppm.
(3) Power supply: Using directly alternating current for the city electricity or direct current 3V~24V.
(4) Consumed power: The products have big and small difference and consumed power is generally 0.5W~1W.
(5) Application area: Generally 10 ---20m2.
(6) Working way: The negative ion generators can work in succession. Longer working time will generate negative ions continuously.
How to choose negative ion generator
(1) Adopt a semiconductor radio, magnify its volume, and close to the negative ion generator, products with good performance will not bring disturb to the radio outside 30cm, that proves the negative ion generator won’t happen high-frequency electric magnetic field and ultrasonic wave.
(2) Good negative ion generator has very strong smoke elimination and dust removal function. Close to the export of negative ion generator with lighting cigarette, the cigarette rising will pour to the finger, not diffusing to the air, one minute later, cigarette tail and finger are smoked yellow, that proves performance of this negative ion generator is good.
(3) Cover one new plastic food bag on hand, when hand closes to the export of the negative ion generator, the plastic film will be stuck on hand closely, even though turn off the generator, the function of adsorbing hands can also keep for some time. The products with bad performance do not have this kind of phenomenon.
Method to test the existence of negative ion
1. Put negative ion generator products just frontage of air ion concentration tester and can test its concentration.
2. Put hand 5cm in front of the carbon fibre output negative high-voltage line, you will feel a stream of cool wind.
3. Put negative ion generator in the environment with peculiar smell, you will find some time later the peculiar smell is eliminated obviously.
4. Fetch a transparent container with lid, put negative ion generator into it, turn off after being electrified for 5 seconds, and then input smog among it, then open the switch of the power, you will find the smog in the transparent container will be purified in speediness.
Precautions for using negative ion generator
The human body should try one's best to avoid closing to the high-pressure output end before grounding (carbon fibre head), for fear generating the pole board effect. This kind of phenomenon is normal and has no harm to human body.
Functions of negative ion
(1)Eliminate smoke and de-dust. The negative ion can neutralize burnt smoke, "second hand smoke ", lampblack and floating dust belonging to the positive ion in the air rapidly.
(2)Improve the air structure: People need 13 hundred million negative ions per day, but our room, office, place of entertainment, etc. environment can only offer about 2~20 hundred million negative ions. That often causes breathing diseases, such as the pneumonia, tracheitis, etc.
(3)Improve the lung function: After inbreathing negative ions for 30 minutes, the lung can increase 20% oxygen absorption, and get rid of 14.5% more the carbon dioxide.
(4)Improve the myocardium function: Obviously function of lowering pressure can make people inspired and increase working efficiency.
(5)Accelerate metabolism: Can accelerate metabolism and improve sleep.
(6)Strengthen human body's resistance against diseases: Negative ion can improve the response of the human body and strengthen human body's resistance against diseases.
(7)Air negative ion can relax and cure irritability pollenosis, bronchus, the upper respiratory tract mucous membrane inflammation, etc.
(8)Have auxiliary and therapy function to respiratory system disease/menopause symptom, and no side effect.
(9)Neutralize high-pressure static of TVs and computer screen to prevent short sight effectively. At the same time reduce the harm of dusts to TVs and computers.
Application of negative ion generator
Widely used for hair dryer, air conditioner, electric fan, sports apparatus, computer, power-saving lamp, ceiling lamp, vending machine, air clean machine, view basin, artificial flower, kitchen ventilator, hairdressing, etc. household appliances field.
