Why is a beeswax candle said to be an air purifier and what is negative ionisation?
Negative ions help freshen and purify the air by causing allergens such as pollen, mould spores and dust floating in the air (which have either a neutral or a positive charge) to be attracted to and stick to each other, forming clumps (because opposite charges attract). These clumps of particles then become heavy enough so that gravity can pull them down to the floor, where they can be vacuumed up, rather than staying in suspension where they can be breathed in and cause allergic reactions. Burning a beeswax candle, a negative ioniser, is a simple and effective way of purifying the air that you breathe.
