We bought a salt lamp. The instructions mention various positive properties; are there any negative ones?
From a medical point of view, there is no direct harm from a salt lamp; however, there are nuances in its use.
The main downside is in ionization, said hygienist Yulia MASYUKEVICH.
Manufacturers often claim that a salt lamp (a solid piece of rock salt with a light bulb inside) emits beneficial ions that purify the air and kill viruses. In reality, the number of such ions is negligibly small. There are no scientific studies confirming that the lamp can significantly change the ionic composition of the air in a room or disinfect it.
