According to the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) Ozone
generators and ionizers currently in the market generate ozone by
design or as a byproduct. Since exposure to ozone above certain
concentration can be injurious to health, please read carefully what
FDA has to say. Please visit their web site:
www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?FR=801.415.
Some texts:
“ Ozone is a toxic gas with no
known useful medical application in specific, adjunctive, or
preventive therapy. In order for ozone to be effective as a
germicide, it must be present in a concentration far greater
than that which can be safely tolerated by man and animals.”
“Although undesirable
physiological effects on the central nervous system, heart, and
vision have been reported, the predominant physiological effect of
ozone is primary irritation of the mucous membranes. Inhalation of
ozone can cause sufficient irritation to the lungs to result in
pulmonary edema. The onset of pulmonary edema is usually delayed for
some hours after exposure; thus, symptomatic response is not a
reliable warning of exposure to toxic concentrations of ozone. Since
olfactory fatigue develops readily, the odor of ozone is not a
reliable index of atmospheric ozone concentration.”
Can one family be safe at home with an ozone generator?
Airfree reduces 26% of Ozone instead.
Airfree is the only air purifier offering Ozone reduction.
Ozone destroys lung tissue, triggers asthma and other respiratory
diseases. Customers should check EPA and FDA for additional articles
and warnings about air purifiers that generate ozone.
Customers must make sure that the air purifier they select does
not generate ozone (directly or as a byproduct). Independent ozone
tests should be requested from all manufacturers.
Place Airfree on the floor and plug it
in to nearest electric outlet.
