Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Jane, You don't offend me, that's okay. Ozone can cause lung irritation and is dangerous. I was really getting at the negative ion. I have never heard anyone mention that. It just so happened that many of the research articles correlate them together. Each has it's own place. They all do mention that Ozone as we know can be irritating. But, if it is irritating to you then you are receiving to much. I am not endorsing ozone at all. Just how the 2 work together or on their own. I found the negative ion to be extremely interesting. There are NO ill effects of negative ion from all the articles I have read. It's kinda like mold. Some believe some don't. Some try some don't. Some are just stuck on " NO. " And that's okay. I changed the subject maybe that will be better. Don't want to confuse anyone into thinking I am endorsing using ozone, or that it good to use. Re: [] Negative ion vs ozone I do not want to stir up anything regarding ozone but I find that for me since I have so much asthma, ozonated spaces are verboten. This may be just me so I do not mean to offend anyone. Heck I wish I could ozone my space and then things might be better. Go for it if you can. <vbrk@...> wrote: This has been a very debated subject here on the group. I am not starting this debate up again. Just wanted to mention I have NEVER had time to research it. So, about 2 weeks ago thought I'd do an indepth search and research, because a doctor told me that negative ion and the proper amount of ozone in your home is essential to good health and mood, and good air quality. Which surprised me he would even have a clue. Then I thought he was nutz because all I have heard is how bad ozone is for you. So I have been researching it and am amazed at the imformation and studies that are out there. It does seem that these are very essential to good health, mood and indoor air quality. Especially if your home is closed up or insulated well w/the heat or A/C running. From what I have been able to find negative ion is good and doesn't need to monitored, and should be present when running your A/C. Ozone of course as we all know can do damage to the lungs. But, it seems that it also benefits the lungs if in the proper amounts. As with anything we all have to do our own research and make our own decisions. I have just heard ozone talked about so much (all the negative) that I thought I'd investigate and learn myself. Still researching it but found it very interesting. The one thing I found to be very interesting was this. I have heard it mentioned here how we all feel better when by the water. Someone here was living in the mountains and said they felt awesome when there. It has to do w/the fact that there is so much more negative ion and ozone in those area's than say the city. The negative ion is a mood stimulant because it reduces the serotonin released into our bodies. Like sunlight reduces melatonin. If you deplete or don't have enough negative ion it increases the seratonin so that you enter a depression stage, fatigue, drowsiness, anxiety. Plus, there is a ton of other stuff they are good for. Well I know everyone is sitting there stunned that I actually have gotten this scientific today. LOL But, I just thought it was actually something that everyone might want to learn about, being we are here because of unhealthy evnironments. If I found it interesting thought someone here might.
