Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ions the air can have an ill effect on people’s physical
or psychological health What are positive ions? Well, the air is full of ions, electrically charged particles, and generally there is a rough balance between the positive and the negative charged But sometimes this balance becomes disturbed and a large proportion of positive ions are found This happens naturally before thunderstorms, earthquakes or when winds such as Mistral, Foehn, Hamsin or Sharav are blowing in certain countries Or it can be caused by a build- up of static electricity indoors from carpets or clothing made of man- made fibres, or from TV, sets, duplicators or computer screens
When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experience unpleasant effects such
as headaches, fatigue, irritability, and some particularly sensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance Animals are also found to be affected, particularly before earthquakes, snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation, rats to flee from their burrows, dogs howl and cats jump about
Trang 4uncountably This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watch animals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such as California
Conversely, when large numbers of negative ions are present, then people have a feeling of well- being Natural conditons that produce these large amounts are near the sea, close to water-falls or fountains, or in any place where water is sprayed or forms a spray This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by the sea, or in the mountains with tumbling, streams or water- falls
1 What effect does excessive positive ionization have on some people?
a They think they are insane b they feel rather bad- tempered
c they become violently sick d they are too tired to do anything
2 According to the passage, static electricity can be caused by :
a using home – made electrical goods b wearing clothes made of natural materials
c walking on artificial floor coverings d copying TV programmes on a computer
3 By observing the behaviour of animals, scientists may be able to
a prevent disasters b organize groups of people c predict earthquakes d control areas of California
4 A high negative ion count is likely to be found
a near a pond with a water pump b close to a slow flowing river
c high in some barren mountains d by a rotating water sprinkler
