"Chizhevsky Air Ions: Mechanism of Biologic Action and their Natural Sources"
Professor V.L. Voeikov (Faculty of Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University)
Abstract:
Ubiquitous biologic functions of Chizhevsky air ions (light negative air ions). Difficulties in explanation of their biologic effects in the frame of conventional biologic and physical-chemical concepts. Hypothesis of the free-radical action of biologic effects of Chizhevsky air ions and other relevant reactive oxygen species ROS). The role of water and humid air is ROS generation, in particular of air ions generation and in maintenance of humid air in an excited state. Dependence of these processes on natural factors.
