Electrical components of the external environment (Aeroions) as determinants of animal behaviour

The existing data on the nature and direction of action negative air ions living organisms testify to diversity their ecological effects. least studied are issues related behavioural responses animals under these conditions. research was carried out white laboratory rats “Wistar” line, males. reactions (level quiet active wakefulness, duration sleep, food intake, manifestation aggressiveness, etc.) were assessed daily for 30 days conditions visual observation (control, excess lack ions). During conventional aeroionization, characterized by a high level wakefulness. In ion content in inhaled air, an increase game contacts observed against background decrease grooming, meal time sleep duration. determined motor activity, contacts; at same time, increased. most significant changes characteristic indicators reflecting sleep-like state aggressiveness.
