A study of the effects of ionized air on behavior /

"The effect on human behavior of an atmosphere containing excesses of unipolar ions was investigated. Fifteen subjects were tested on a complex mental task, an additional fifteen performed a vigilance task, and twenty subjects indicated their attitudes through marking an adjective check list while exposed to five levels of air ionization. The ion conditions for each study were varied from a high excess of positive ions through a medium excess of positive ions, low ion (neutral), medium negative, and low negative. None of the differences found among the ion conditions for these tests were statistically significant."--Abstract."November 1960."Includes bibliographical references (pages 16-18)."The effect on human behavior of an atmosphere containing excesses of unipolar ions was investigated.
