Are ozone generating air purifiers really safe?
Ozone is simply a naturally occurring form of oxygen in the Earths stratosphere that shields us from harmful ultraviolet radiation. In the proper concentration, ozone is both safe and extremely effective in killing bacteria, viruses and other harmful airborne microbes. It is also a very efficient at eliminating cigarette smoke and odors. And, while the FDA and OSHA both warn that ozone concentrations higher than 0.05 ppm (parts per million) may be unsafe, Ultra-Pure Air Purifiers maintain a very healthy ozone production level of 0.04 ppm which is high enough to effectively fight disease and odor but still a full 20% below the FDA and OSHA recommended maximums. In addition, as an additional safety feature, all Ultra-Pure air purifiers with ozone generation offer an on/off ozone setting. So the choice is yours use it, dont use it or uses it only when you really need it, for example to fight sudden strong odors or cigarette smoke.
