Indoor air-conditions may play an important role in human health. Investigation of house conditions that promote health revealed that negatively charged-particle dominant indoor air-conditions (NAC) induced immune stimulation. NAC was established using fine charcoal powder on walls and ceilings and utilizing forced negatively charged particles (approximate diameter: 20 nm) dominant in indoor air-conditions created by applying an electric voltage (72 V) between the backside of the walls and the ground.

Negatively charged air-conditions were established using a fine charcoal powder on walls and ceilings and utilizing forced negatively charged particles (approximate diameter: 20 nm) dominant in indoor air-conditions created by applying an electric voltage (72 V) between the backside of the walls and the ground. We reported previously that these conditions induced a slight and significant increase of interleukin-2 during a 2.

- This study explores how negatively-charged air conditions can improve human health by analyzing their effects on various biological markers related to the psycho-neuro-endocrino-immune (PNEI) network in controlled indoor environments.
- Healthy volunteers were exposed to specially designed negatively-charged experimental rooms (NCRs) and control rooms (CTRs), where several biological responses were monitored, showing significant differences between the two settings.
- Results indicated that negatively-charged air may enhance immune responses, improve blood flow, and stabilize the autonomic nervous system; however, further research is needed to understand the long-term impacts of this air quality on health.
