From experiments in buildings of different construction it is concluded that the ionic microclimate inside depends on that outdoors and on the partial vapour pressure of water indoors, that the lowest level of ionisation occurs in winter and the highest in spring and summer, and that by contrast with buildings built from concrete panels, in traditional buildings (brick, wood) and in buildings with lightweight external cladding, the lightweight negative ion concentration and unipolarity quotient evolve in concert with those outdoors.
