The goal of the research was to investigate the biological effect of micromolar quantities of ionised gases by removing them from inhaled air via electrostatic removal („air ion deprivation"). A morphological investigation of the adeno- and neurohypophysis was done due to the possible involvement of these structures in the physiological reactions to inhaled air ions (AI), particularly micromolar levels of gas-phase superoxide.
The electrostatic field created by acrylic glass surfaces was used to deionize ambient air inside an experimental acrylic glass cage (AGC). Four hours after the animals were placed in the AGC, the concentration of negative AIs was not quantifiable, while the concentration of positive ions was (mean SD) 77 18 ions cm-3. In identical silicate glass cages (control), the concentrations of negative and positive AI were 482 128 ionscm-3 and 660 148 ionscm-3, respectively. It has been discovered that a prolonged absence of AI in the ambient air causes animals to die more quickly. The mice and rats which were starved lived 16.2 0.9 and 23.0 1.1 days, respectively. Animal death is significantly linked to neurohormonal regulatory problems and pituitary insufficiency, based on clinical symptoms and ultrastructural changes in the adeno- and neurohypophysis seen in deprived animals. The physiological necessity for AIs and atmospheric superoxide is explored, as well as its involvement in the development of environmental stress in humans, especially premature newborns.Author(S) Details
