Salt Lamps and Negative Ion Generation

Due to its hygroscopic properties, salt crystals absorb moisture from air. When water molecules enter the salt, they dissolve ions from the salt. If the salt is heated with a light bulb or a candle, water molecules evaporate from the salt with the ions attached to them. It is a scientific fact that when used in a small confined area (average size bedroom) for long periods of time (10-15 hours a day), crystal salt lamps can increase the negative ions in the air up to 300%.

What are Negative Ions?

Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, invisible molecules in the air that we inhale in abundance in certain environments: mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. These molecules have an extra electron. They are created naturally in our atmosphere as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, wind and running water. The air in most of the office buildings and houses contain dozens or hundreds of negative ions in a cubic inch. However, near waterfalls, mountains and beaches negative ion concentration of the air may be as high as tens of thousands in one cubic inch of air.
