Electric Smog

Salt Lamps > Electro pollution and the salt lamp

At the beginning of 21st century, we can hardly imagine living without many electric devices, they make it easier for us to work in the office, at home & they entertain us. However we do not realize that they are also a source of very harmful positive ions - ELECTRIC SMOG.

The harmful effect of electric smog results in the deterioration of the condition of air which may negatively affect our physical and emotional state.

Sources of harmful positive ions are:

• computer monitors
• TV sets
• Electric heaters
• Dryers
• Vacuum cleaners
• Microwave ovens
• Tobacco smoke

Scientific research has proven that the amount of ions in the environment acceptable by humans, should range between 1000-1500/cm3.
Scientific tests have revealed that the ratio negative to positive ions should be between 1.02to 0.98.
In closed rooms where a few people work at the same time the amount of negative ions may fall to as low as 200/cm3. 

The positive effect of negative ions can be experienced on a visit to a salt mine, by the sea or walking right after the storm. Now we know how important it is to make sure that harmful effect of electric smog is reduced to a minimum in the rooms we work.
The cheapest and simplest method of fighting against electric smog is to air rooms regularly, particularly those where few people stay together and have many electric machines or where cigarettes are smoked.
You can use air ionisers which are a bit to help you remove electric smog or a natural salt lamp.

The salt lamp is a natural air ionizer that effectively boosts the number of negative ions in the room. The effect of air ionization by salt originates from physical and chemical properties of salt discovered many years ago.
In salt lamps the ionization effect is additionally enhanced by heating the salt crystal with a bulb installed inside the lamp, as a result the salt crystal lamp improves the quality of our environment and thus our well-being. The theory is as the salt lamp warms up they attract the humidity and the surface of the salt crystal becomes moist. This causes a field of ions to build up, thus neutralising the electro-smog in a room.
Bioenergotherapists and homeopaths in Western Europe have recommended crystal salt lamps for a long time to support treatment of allergies, respiratory and the blood system and rheumatism.

So a salt crystal lamp is a product worth having at any home.

We also stock a range of air ionisers to improve the quality of air you breathe.
