When ocean waves crash onto a beach, they do more than entertain beach goers. Moving water, moving air and sunlight all cause air molecules to break apart, releasing charged atoms, or ions, into the atmosphere. Scientists claim there is an abundance of negatively charged ions in sea air and that they have health benefits which range from better circulation to improved moods.
Areas like the ocean, waterfalls and country sides have a large amount of ions (25,000 to 100,000pcm3) in the air whereas offices, normal households and smoking areas are lacking in these “air vitamins” (Only 100 to 250 pcm3).
This is especially important for anyone suffering from any type of respiratory problems. The Perfectaire Egg and Perfectaire Blissful products offer built in ionizer unit, although due to the action of the water movement in all the units, each will offer a small amount of ionisation as a by-product of the purification process.

Here’s a list of different places with their value of negative ions per cubic cm. From the chart you can see that natural places like waterfalls have a magnificent number of negative ions.
