How do Negatively charged ions work?
A. Negatively charged ions are attracted to particles with opposite charges. The negatively charged ion that collides with a particle will give up it s charge to the particle. The new negative particles are then attracted to other oppositely charge particles. This process continues until the particles become heavy enough to fall to the earth, thus cleaning the air of what are considered to be toxic chemicals or unhealthy bacteria. Negatively charged particles can also be attracted to charged surfaces, such as a computer monitor or a television screen. A high electrostatic charge generated on the face of a video screen s cathode ray tube creates positively charged ions that cause what has been described as Video Operator Distress Syndrome. People spending much time in front of these terminals typically experience increased fatigue levels, eyestrain, blurred vision, skin rash, headaches, irritability, anxiety and depression. The placement of X-ion at the video face to produce a continuou
