Someone in the family insists on such a lamp According to the description, it neutralizes the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves. e.g. here: ampa_solna_3_4_kg_ or: _lamp_solna_planet_kashmir
How does this relate to reality?

From the point of view of chemistry and physics, such operation of the lamp as in these descriptions is impossible. However, there are people who believe such things and traders are based on it.
As above. It is a typical decorative lamp with a "colored" description. The only way to avoid electromagnetic waves is, unfortunately, only to reduce their emission or wear lead suits
why from the point of view of physics and chemistry a salt lamp should not produce negative ions ??? Because with this radiation protection it is quite a stretch ... that's why the second of these lamps has a more reliable description.
Quote:
heated salt evaporates, negatively ionizing the air and saturating it with microelements valuable for health,
a quote from a fairly professional website on the web If, of course, the lamp is made of a suitable material .....
I do not think that the laws of physics or chemical reactions have changed since I graduated from the chemical technical school or from my studies at the physics department ... Heated salt does not ionize the air, at best it can emit chlorine, which is quite harmful to health, but only at high temperatures. On the page that my predecessor writes about, it probably means a salt solution which is actually an electrolyte. And for people who believe in the healing power of salt, he offers a cheaper solution: pour a packet of salt into a tray, the surface of tiny crystals will be many times larger than the surface of a single crystal, so the effectiveness of the action will be much greater. Salt lamps can be bought in Germany and they fulfill perfectly decorative functions. You cannot advertise the product here with functions that the product does not have ... Coming back to salt, if the crystals gave off some substances, even at the atomic level, it would be impossible to build up layers of rock salt, just within millions of years everything would evaporate into the atmosphere ... And the links: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B3l_kamienna http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorek_sodu As you can see the melting point over 800 degrees, the boiling point is much higher, so I do not think that the salt, heated with a bulb, could emit anything.
thanks for the statement, wikipedia ... unfortunately it is not the highest authority for me ... Besides, it seems that there is a lot of water vapor in the air, and it reacts somehow on the surface of the lamp with sodium chloride, besides, for example, the known phenomenon of the disappearance of salt sculptures in Wieliczka, from what I remember, is caused by the increased air humidity ... . So, however, something protrudes from the crystals into the air, in the presence of water vapor, and at an elevated temperature probably faster, this is my "peasant reason" reflections We are waiting for the other opinions of chemists, physicists and maybe doctors ... And in such a system, the question of the sense of the existence of the so-called Salt Cave .....
It works the same as pendulums, wands, etc. If you believe such things, the lamp works. If you don't believe it - it doesn't work. Ev. there is still the power of suggestion that makes you feel better. And that's it, isn't it? :D
Salt is felt by the smell, if someone has a sensitive sense of smell, so something evaporates from it ... another matter, that little evaporates, the salt beds are more threatened by water than this evaporation, the Wieliczka mine more than once had water leaks that threatened to destroy it. And it is in the same mine sanatorium for people with respiratory diseases, and it helps them quite well.
Aha: a lot more evaporates from the salt solution than from even tiny crystals, I once tried to cultivate salt crystals, I put the jar with the solution in the cellar (to keep the temperature constant), covered with a lid, but not very tight - after a few months it was covered with salt on the outside - so much of it evaporated from the solution. So why not use a salt jar instead of a salt lamp? Only it will salt everything around ...

Maybe it was a slightly different phenomenon than evaporation? Surfaces in contact with atmospheric air, even when heated to the boiling point of water, are covered with a very thin layer, which desorbs only after increasing the temperature to several hundred degrees Celsius. Once, during the internship, I participated in heating the vacuum equipment, which was necessary for this very reason. And since the surface of the jar was covered with a thin layer of water, maybe the salt ions diffused in it and crystallized out of the jar, where the humidity was lower and the water evaporated more easily? I do not exclude salt evaporation and its impact on human health, but I suspect that it was not the most important process here. Let's not forget that in the air, apart from water vapor, there may be floating (often mistaken for it) microscopic water droplets, visible as "steam" above the kettle, clouds, fog, etc. - they may contain salt in the form of a solution (e.g. when the wind blows eats from the sea).
The discussion centers around the efficacy of salt lamps in neutralizing electromagnetic waves, with participants expressing skepticism about the claims made by sellers. Responses highlight that from a scientific perspective, the operation of salt lamps as described is implausible, as heated salt does not ionize air effectively. Some participants mention that while salt lamps serve decorative purposes, their purported health benefits lack scientific backing. The conversation also touches on the phenomenon of salt evaporation and its potential effects on air quality, with references to salt caves and therapeutic uses in respiratory treatments. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards the view that the benefits of salt lamps are largely based on belief rather than empirical evidence. Summary generated by the language model.
