Is the Ionic Breeze GP or Quadra an “ozone generator”?
No, they are not. An ozone generator is a device specifically designed to produce large amounts of ozone as its primary method of treating and removing odors from indoor air. The EPA regards such ozone generators as unsafe for home use. The Ionic Breeze GP and Quadra, in contrast, release only small, trace amounts of ozone — sufficient to eliminate many common household odors but insufficient to cause any concern. Because this amount is so small and incidental, Ionic Breeze Silent Air Purifiers are considered not to be ozone generators. Ionic Breeze GP and Quadra are electrostatic air cleaners that meet all government standards for safety, including ozone release. The Ionic Breeze complies with U.S. safety standards for low ozone emission (less than 50 parts per billion). We recommend that individuals with a history of respiratory disease consult their doctor about possible heightened sensitivity to very low ozone.
