Abstract :
Air ionization in clean rooms is expanding. Influence of air ions on biological objects, aerosol status, and charge neutralization should be considered. This paper discusses such biological effects of light ions as ion depletion, bacteria and virus´s sterilization, and deodorization. Ion concentration, ion mobility, and chemical composition will be discussed as ways to characterize biological aspects of cleanroom ionization.
