What are Natural Air Regenerators?

Why is "fresh air" fresh?

A big, deep breath of fresh mountain or seashore air. Makes you feel good physically, mentally, and spiritually, doesn't it?

Scientists are attempting to discover just why it is that, say after a thunderstorm, people seem so energized. Or why when a dry hot wind blows off the desert people seem to irritable.

They've learned that one reason for that good feeling is the "balance" of elements (including Ozone and negative ions) in the air we breath. When the air is "balanced" or regenerated by lightning and moving water (waterfalls or ocean waves) our mood is light and spirits lifted. When the air is "unbalanced" by pollutants such as dust, bacteria, chemicals, etc., we're discomforted -- our moods are darker, we don't feel as good as we think we should.

The beauty of negative ions

The cleansing power of Ozone

Ozone is "activated oxygen," (O3) a form of oxygen that carries three atoms instead of the more common two (O2). The three-atom form of oxygen is highly unstable. It seeks out and deposits its excess third atom on organic molecules it comes in contact with. Organic molecules such as those creating odors (onions, cooking odors, etc) and other molecules can be "oxidized," -- deactivated or destroyed -- by the free oxygen atom.

As one of Mother Nature's most effective cleansers, Ozone flows freely over surfaces and into crevices, reducing odors and contaminants. Ozone can also attack volatile organic compound odors emitted from glue, paint, carpet, plastics, plywood and other composite materials as well as lingering odors left by powerful household cleaning products.
