The Influence of Negative Air Ions on Human Performance and Mood

An empirical study investigating the influence of negative air ions on human performance and mood is described. The results indicate that people have faster reaction times and report feeling significantly more energetic under negative air ion conditions than under normal air conditions. Implications...
