  Thankfully, we don't have to rely on people making these changes-ultraviolet germicidal light provides a solution. Because the average person spends over ninety percent of his or her time indoors, UV disinfection is extremely effective in minimizing allergic and asthmatic symptoms. While negative ions do not actually kill airborne micro-organisms, they do effectively eliminate these hazardous particulates from the air, in the same way that negative ionization works in the earth's natural atmosphere. UV air purification removes particulates from the air, including volatile organic compounds such as those emitted by carpets, manufactured wood products, cleaning agents, upholstery, and copy machines, thus, minimizing the effects of sick building syndrome. Polluted air is actually a leading factor resulting in fatigue, health concerns, and irritable driving. Despite their miniscule size, positive ions have distinct, even severe, effects on body and mind. For example these hazardous ions are known to cause such troubles as cardiovascular concerns, sleeplessness, respiratory problems, headaches, nausea, dizziness, anxiety, depression, irritability, and even skin ailments. This year, however, the Environmental Protection Agency has warned again that burning such incense outdoors is illegal and will result in large fines due to the damaging effects of incense smoke on the atmosphere. With the EPA imposing such a ban, it is clear that just as burning incense outdoors poses a threat to the environment, burning incense indoors is extremely hazardous to human health. |
