What does a negative ion generator have to do with employee motivation
and morale in the workplace? You might be surprised.
In today’s high tech world there is an overabundance of positive ions coming
at us from all directions. We are being bombarded by the unwanted molecules
from all sides. From things like computers and laser printers to overused central
heating and air units, coupled with modern building practices that are designed
to seal up our offices and homes to keep the outside out and the inside in,
we are being overly exposed to positive ions.
Research has shown that an overabundance of positive ions in a confined space
can lead to fatigue and depression, cause headaches and provide transportation
for airborne allergens and viruses.
Positive ions are simply the molecules floating in our air that make
up indoor air pollution.
On the flip side side the same research suggest that suppling a room with an
overabundance of negative ions can create a feeling of light heartedness and
ease tensions. Plus the weight that negative ions provide can also cause the
microbes that carry allergies and hayfever to fall from the air we breathe and
calm reactions to these common respiratory ailments.
A negative ion generator is a type of air purifier that emits negative ions
into the ambient air of a room. The technology is based upon the fact that negative
ions are heavier than positive ions. When the negative ions emitted from the
negative ion generator come in contact with the positive ions because of magnetic
polarity, they cause the positive ions (floating air contaminants) to be too
heavy to float and they fall the ground.
The result could be mean less sick days and less tension and higher morale in
the workplace.
The type of negative ion generator that works best is the photocatalytic air
purifier. The photocatalytic air purifier causes a reaction between ultraviolet
light and titanium oxide that creates a blanket of hydroperoxide ions and hydroxyl
ions. These negative ions don’t just supply weight to airborne contaminants
like the tradition ion generator, they will react with them and completely destroy
them.
With a photocatalytic air purifier you can create an Oasis of Healthy Breathing
for your home or office.
