Air ionisation and colonisation infection
To determine effect of negative air ions on colonisation/infection with methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Acinetobacter species in an intensive care unit. Design: Prospective single-centre cross-over study in an adult general intensive care unit....
Differential negative air effects on learning disabled and normal-achieving children
Forty normal-achieving and 33 learning disabled (LD) children were assigned randomly to either a negative ion or placebo test condition. On a dichotic listening task using consonant-vowel (CV) combinations, both groups showed an ioninduced increase in the normal right...

La peau de rats fut privée d’épiderme et les plaies exposées à des ions négatifs produits avec des appareils “Bion 80” durant 3 heures, et une seule fois, juste après la blessure. En comparaison avec le lot témoin, les ions positifs de l’air retardent
‘Effect of negative air ions on the potential for bacterial contamination of plastic medical equipment’ BMC Infectious Diseases
In recent years there has been renewed interest in the use of air ionizers to control the spread of infection in hospitals and a number of researchers have investigated the biocidal action of ions in both air and nitrogen. By comparison, the physical action of air...
Effect of Negative Ions on Drivers
The influence of negative air ions on driver's mental stress and fatigue was investigated in this study. Two kinds of driving-task loading, produced by a simple driving simulator, were conducted under negative air ions. Although there was no difference in sensory...
