The Mystery of Bama’s “Longevity”

LONGEVITY is the wish of many people. Bama Yao Autonomous County (巴馬瑤族自治縣)  is a county in Guangxi, China. The residents of Bama County have a reputation for longevity, is known as the "Hometown of Longevity" in the world. Bama has been the focus of studies from geriatricians nationwide.

According to statistics, among Bama's population of 236,200 in 2020, there were 102 elderly people over 100 years old, ranking among the 5 longevity areas in the world. It is  the standard by the United Nations as a place of longevity in the world. So, what is the unique condition does Bama longevity village have? Is there any magical power in this place?

An important role in the mystery of Bama's longevity is the "vitamins" and "longevity hormone" - negative oxygen ions "in the air".

The air in Bama has very high concentration of negative oxygen ions, with up to 20,000-50,000 negative oxygen ions/cm3.  It is ten to dozen times higher than that in other cities and plain areas.

According to research, when numbers of negative oxygen ions in the air exceeds 20,000/cm3, the immunity system and self-healing ability of humans will be enhanced.  The high concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air of Bama County makes the proportion of long-lived elderly people far exceed the standards of other "longevity towns in the world".

What Are Oxygen Ions?

Ions are molecules or atoms that contain an electrical charge and exist in nature in various sizes. 

As ion density decreases, so does the air quality, providing a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria. 

By INCREASING the quantity of both positively and negatively charged small oxygen ions, air quality is IMPROVED.  High concentration of oxygen ions can help us to handle (1) bacteria & virus, (2) PM - Particulate Matter as well as (3) TVOCs - Total Volatile Organic Compounds. This is the basis of bipolar ionization technology.

Monitair's bipolar ionization indoor air quality purification products output positive and negative oxygen ion concentrations reaching more than 7,000 to 10,000/cm3, ensuring healthy air quality in the living environment and deacitvate air pollutants, such as virus, bacteria, odor, smoke, etc., while improving food safety and hygiene.

Comparing with negative ionization air purifier, bipolar ionization Indoor Air Quality treatment devices will not release harmful substances such as ozone, so it is more safety.

Monitair's products have been deployed in different industries. Well-known clients such as government departments, hospitals, property developer, shopping mall, hotel deployed our solutions:
