Office
Air
Not only as a result of air pollution
and meteorological influences has there been a shift in the
levels of positive and negative ions. Above all, the modern
way of building offices has had a great impact on this. The
use of electronic equipment (computers, air conditioning,
copiers, fluorescent lighting etc) is added to this. Consequently
we have in our offices often
only 30 negative ions or fewer per cubic centimetre.
The results can be:
- Poor concentration
- Nervousness
- Irritability
- Drying out of
the nasal mucous membranes and hence greater susceptibility
to respiratory organ infections
- Anxiety and susceptibility
to stress
Positive ions breathed
in impact negatively on the nerve messenger substance serotonin,
and hence on our hormone release, and emotional behaviour.
The consequences can
be:
- Dizzy
spells
- Premature
fatigue
- Breathing
problems
- Fall
off in performance
In
the long-term, circulatory and / or allergy problems can occur
resulting in chronic illnesses. |
