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
