Viruses and bacteria remain airborne in surroundings devoid of nature's air cleaners, (air ions). Most spaces where synthetic surfaces predominate strip the air of its air cleaners, long before they've had a chance to clean the air. That leaves bacteria, viruses and other airborne pollutants within breathing range for lengthy periods, increasing the likelihood that they'll be breathed in, gain entry into the body and get to work making you sick. The amount of time that bacteria and viruses remain airborne can be reduced significantly by adjusting the surroundings to increase nature's air cleaners.
