Function
description:
1. HEPA super-activated carbon filter
The high concentration of various layer of air
filter catches suspended small to medium-sized
particles in the air. Even particles as small as
0.03 micron are filtered out. Therefore, the
efficiency filter rate is as high as 99.98%.
2. Disinfection using Ozone
By using advance and latest technology, ozone (O3)
eliminates smell, sterilizing and disinfect diseases
to prevent cross-infection. It also kills a variety
of bacteria that causes respiratory diseases,
decomposes indoor organic gases that causes all
kinds of different odor and prevents bacteria from
spreading.
3. Combination of nanotechnology with photocatalyst
to clean the air
The uses of advanced photocatalyst, TiO2 break down
a variety of harmful organic compounds
(formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, TVOC, etc.) even
faster and more effectively thus eliminates indoor
smells and all kinds of peculiar smells. It also
effectively kills bacteria and viruses to prevent
any viral cross-infection between family members.
4. Ozone creates fresh air by eliminating smoke,
dust and bacteria.
The release of a large number of negative oxygen
ions creates a forest environment alike and family
members will enjoy both mental and psychical health
and ease mental stress. It is also effective in
removing smoke, pollen, dust, mold, bacteria and
other harmful substances.
5. Ozone as a powerful sterilant to destroy
bacteria, viruses and odors.
Special technology is used to produce activated
oxygen or more commonly known as ozone (O3). It is
used to sterilise and disinfect any bacteria,
viruses and odors. One of the methods is by putting
ozone inside the water and use it as a
sterilization. Then, we can use the O3 water to wash
our fruits and vegetables to get rid of the residual
of fertilizer and pesticide, toys and other daily
necessities. It can also be use to disinfect and
sterilize any equipments to prevent infection.
6. Elegant design and integrates with any
background.
Its modern based design and harmonious colour simply
blends perfectly into our furniture and kitchen
utensils. It also has an aromatherapy function and
has no effect to any other perfume usage. So, let us
live in a more healthy and romantic life.
7. Kills hand, foot and mouth disease.
In our recent case of hand, foot and mouth disease,
it can effectively kills hand, foot and mouth virus
up to 99% killing rate.

What are
Negative Ions?
Ions are invisible particles, either molecules or
atoms, which bear an electric charge. Atoms, for
instance, consist of an atomic nucleus that contains
neutral neutrons and positively charged protons, as
well as orbiting electrons that are negatively
charged. When an atom is in a neutral condition, the
number of protons (+) and electrons (-) is equal.
When the number of protons and electrons is not the
same, the particle becomes an ion that is either
positively or negatively charged.
Positive Ion (Cation): an atom (or molecule) that
has lost one or more electrons due to a high-energy
impact. Natural forces that generate positive ions
include the decay of radioactive minerals, radon
gas, forest fires, lightning and ultraviolet rays.
Negative Ion (Anion): an atom (or molecule) that has
gained one or more extra negatively charged
electrons. Negative ions are naturally generated by
evaporating water, ocean surf, waterfalls and ionic
minerals such as Tourmaline.
How are Negative Ions generated naturally?
There are also certain minerals that emit Negative
Ions for example Tourmaline and Germanium.
Can Negative Ions be generated artificially?
Negative Ions can be artificially generated by
electrical devices such as Air Ionisers which use an
external power source (electricity) to generate
large quantities of Negative Ions. Our NP208
Personal Air Purifier Ioniser and our 8 in 1 Room
Air Purifier Ioniser both use electricity to
generate Negative Ions.
Facts about Negative Ions
Tasteless, Odourless.
Urban areas typically have much lower concentrations
of Negative Ions in the air than rural areas.
Ionisation is mandatory in many European and Russian
Hospitals.
In March of 1999, Good Housekeeping Magazine had its
engineers test an ionizer by using a smoke test, and
found that it cleared out the smoke in a tank.
A recent study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture
found that ionising a room led to 52% less dust in
the air, and 95% less bacteria in the air (since
many of the pollutants found in the air reside on
floating dust particles).
How Negative Ions Purify the Air
Virtually all particles in the air have a positive
charge, while negative ions have a negative charge.
In which case, negative ions and particles
magnetically attract to one another. When there is a
high enough concentration of negative ions in the
air, they will attract to floating particles in
large numbers. This causes the particle to become
too heavy to remain airborne. As a result, the
particle will fall out of the air, and will then be
collected by normal cleaning activities, such as
vacuuming or dusting.
In nature, negative ions are generated by processes
such as sunlight, lightening, waves from the ocean,
and from waterfalls. "Concrete Jungles" minimize the
natural production of negative ions by disrupting
the delicate electrical balance between the
atmosphere and the earth. Ioniser/ionic air
purifiers recreate them with electrode pins
("needlepoints") to electrically produce negative
ions.
What Ionic Products are available?
The most popular product we stock is the Ionic
Balance Band (worn on the wrist) which uses
Tourmaline to naturally emit Negative Ions. We carry
a range of ionic products suitable for humans and
pets.
Our 5 in 1 Air Purifier Ioniser NP208 Personal Air
Purifier Ioniser is ideal for travel and Very
lightweight. .
Ancient peoples recognized that the air is
"electric" so to speak, but it is thought that the
formal study of ions did not begin until fairly
recently. In 1899, two German scientists, Elster and
Geitel, discovered that there are particles in the
atmosphere that carry electricity. These particles
were later named "air ions" by the British scientist
Faraday. The word "ion" was taken from the Greek
language, in which it means to "go" or "wander
about."
To date over 5000 studies have been conducted on
Negative Ions. Many of these are available online.

Negative Ions Benefits For Your Health
Health Benefits of Negatively Charged IonsNegative
ions are oxygen atoms charged with an extra
electron. Here¡¯s how they can both clear the air in
your home of allergens like pollen and mold and
hazardous airborne particles such as bacteria and
viruses, and have some surprisingly beneficial
effects on your health.
¡¡
What Do Negative Ions Do?
Negative ions are created in nature by the effects
of water, air, sunlight and the Earth¡¯s inherent
radiation. They are most prevalent in natural places
and particularly around moving water or after a
thunderstorm.
That taste in the air and feeling you get at the
beach, near a waterfall or after a storm is your
body been saturated in the benefits of negative
ions.
What if there were a way to take that feeling you
have with you and keep it going in your bedroom,
lounge room, kitchen or office, as well as cleaning
the air of contaminants?
Negative ions clear the air of dust, mold spores,
pollen, pet dander, odors, cigarette smoke, bacteria
and viruses. They do this by attaching to these
positively charged particles in large numbers. This
causes the pollen, mold, bacteria, etc to become too
heavy to stay airborne.
At this point it drops to the floor or attaches to a
nearby surface, thus removing it from the air you
breathe and preventing it from causing respiratory
problems and other health issues.

How
Do Negative Ionizers Work?
Add to that positive ion producing air conditioning,
electrical equipment like televisions and clothes
dryers, and even carpet and upholstery, and our
homes have become what has been described as
¡®positive ion prisons¡¯.
Our homes and workplaces are usually sealed off from
the natural benefits of negative ions. Even if you
do keep your windows open, aside from all the
pollution, if you live in a busy town or city the
concentration of negative ions in the air may only
be a tenth of that found in country environments.
For a list of the harmful effects positive ions can
have on your health see the page on Negative and
Positive Ions.
You do have one negative ion generator in your home
already though. Your shower, with its stream of hot
water and steam, is a good producer of negative
ions. That¡¯s part of why so many people need a
shower to wake up in the morning.
That¡¯s not much use in the other rooms of your
house, but fortunately scientists have come up with
another even more effective way to create these
negatively charged ions and receive their health
benefits in whatever room you spend time in.
Modern negative ionizers work by using a method
called ¡®corona discharge¡¯, which is actually modeled
on the way lightning occurs.
A tiny current of electrons flow down a needle to
its point. The nearer the electrons come to the
needlepoint, the closer they are forced together.
Since electrons naturally repel each other, when
they reached the very tip of the needle they are
forced off into the nearest air molecule and become
a negative ion.
Negative ions repel each other as well, so as more
and more are produced they are emitted further and
further out into the room they are in. The more
powerful the ionizer, the more beneficial ions they
can produce and the larger their range.
Top 10 Negative Ion Benefits for Your Health
There are highlighted links to references if you
would like to read the relevant scientific research,
but for a handy summary here are the top 10 health
benefits of negative ions:
1. Negative ions increase your sense of well-being
and mental clarity by removing the debilitating
effects of excessive positive ions in your
environment.
2. Negative ionizers are proven to clear the air of
dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and other
potential allergens.
3. A good ionizer can significantly decrease
airborne viruses and bacteria in your home.
4. Improves the function of the cilia in your
respiratory tract that protect your lungs from
irritation and inflammation, thus leading to less
instances of respiratory illnesses like colds and
flu and even hayfever and asthma.
5. Negative ionizers have a relaxing effect and have
been reported to normalize your breathing rate,
decrease blood pressure and relieve tension.
6. Studies show high levels of negative ions can be
as effective at treating Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD) as commonly prescribed antidepressants
(obviously discuss any medication changes with your
doctor).
7. Improved energy levels and focus. Research at the
University of California showed negative ions
normalize serotonin levels in the brain, potentially
improving a person¡¯s positive outlook and mood.
8. Better sleep. A French study found using negative
ionizers could help you to sleep better. This is
once again due to their positive effects in
normalizing serotonin production in the brain.
9. Reduces instances of headaches and sickness. The
company Norwich Union found installing negative ion
air cleaners in a work area full computers and other
electronic equipment reduced instances of reported
sickness and headaches by 78%. Negative ionizers are
also routinely used in hospitals in Europe for their
beneficial impact on patient¡¯s health and healing
rates.
10. Elevated mental concentration and performance.
Testing has regularly shown that subjects exposed to
high levels of negative ions perform better in
mentally challenging tasks than those breathing
normal positive ion dense air. Pierce J. Howard PhD
at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences says in
the Owners Manual for the Brain ¨C ¡°Negative ions
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting
in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more
mental energy.¡±
