    One claim is it adds negative ions to the air which the claim is are good for you. There’s no evidence they’d release anything more than an infinitesimal amount. Salt is pretty stable.

    Another claim is it helps purify the air by trapping toxins, which, even if true, would quickly become useless as the surface area becomes saturated. There’s also no evidence any pollutants end up on the lamp beyond pure coincidence/chance.
