What is a Ion counter?

The ion counter is a kind of ion measuring instrument, which measures the ion concentration in the atmosphere and measures the number of molecular ions called "small ions". When performing highly accurate measurements, it is desirable to measure both negative and positive ions at the same time, but there is also a type that displays only negative ions, which is used when you want to display only negative ion values ​​for sales promotion of home appliances. In the past, it was large and heavy, but now it is smaller and can be carried with one hand, and the price is relatively low at 100,000 yen or less.

Application of Ion counter

Since the talk that "negative ions" are good for health has become a hot topic in the world, ion counters have come to be seen by the general public as machines that detect "negative ions" (in fact, negative ions). It is unknown if there is a health effect due to). In addition to being used for research and industrial purposes at universities and companies, it also has the aspect of being a sales promotion device for showing the amount of negative ions generated from home appliances. Until now, it was rare for people to equip a full-scale measuring instrument at home, but there are cases where they are considering introducing it as a countermeasure against infectious diseases. However, since it is unknown what kind of ions are effective against infectious diseases, it is not safe because there are many ions.
