Effect of negative air ions on the potential for bacterial contamination of plastic medical equipment
BACKGROUND: In recent years there has been renewed interest in the use of air ionizers to control the spread of infection in hospitals and a number of researchers have investigated the biocidal action of ions in both air and nitrogen. By comparison, the physical action of air ions on bacterial disse...
