NOTES:Although the above researchers vary in their method of generating “bi-polar” ( OR multi-cluster ions) - - the end result of creating clumps of “positive hydrogen” and ”negative oxygen” ions ( with perhaps other trace ions also) to deactivate the above microbes and allergens - - is the common mechanism of microbe control used by all..
