What is the difference between negative ions and ozone?
Negative Ions Ozone Has an odor NO YES Toxic in large amounts NO YES Reduces particulates such as dust YES NO Eliminates Odors SOME BETTER* Freshens air YES YES Lifts mood YES NO Counteracts positive ions YES NO Deteriorates rubber, etc. NO YES Requires constant adjusting NO YES* Composition A normal oxygen molecule with an extra electron A molecule of oxygen consisting of three oxygen atoms * If you are using ozone, the amount of ozone generated should exactly match the amount of odors or pollution entering the living area, for best results. That way, they destroy each other and neither ozone nor pollution is present. The ozone generator should be turned down or off when the odors or pollution source is no longer present.
