Hello, I was wondering if anybody here has knowledge about anion production in the air and how to negativity charge a room, like a waterfall which can produce 100,000PPM anions in the air and the water keeps the positive charge. Some methods include arcing, plasma, ultraviolet, water collision, x-ray, and forcing electrons off a sewing needle tip.. I have exhausted google, everyone talks about how to do it and what to buy, but i want to know the science behind it. Thanks for your help!

Here is a scientific paper on how waterfalls produce anions in the air

1. How can anions be generated for oxygen charge?

Anions for oxygen charge can be generated through various methods such as electrolysis, chemical reactions, and photo-induced electron transfer. These methods involve the transfer of electrons to oxygen atoms, resulting in the formation of negatively charged anions.

2. What is the purpose of generating anions for oxygen charge?

The purpose of generating anions for oxygen charge is to study the reactivity and properties of oxygen atoms, as well as to produce oxygen-containing compounds for various applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals and materials science.

3. Can anions be generated for oxygen charge in a controlled manner?

Yes, anions for oxygen charge can be generated in a controlled manner through precise manipulation of reaction conditions and selection of appropriate reactants. This allows for the production of desired anion species with specific properties and reactivities.

4. Are there any risks associated with generating anions for oxygen charge?

There can be potential risks associated with generating anions for oxygen charge, particularly in the use of certain reactants and methods. It is important to carefully follow safety protocols and handle these materials with caution to avoid any potential hazards.

5. What are some potential applications of anions generated for oxygen charge?

Anions generated for oxygen charge have various potential applications such as in the synthesis of organic compounds, electrochemistry, and catalysis. They are also used in research to study the behavior of oxygen atoms in different environments and to understand their role in chemical reactions.
