Q: Ozone Air Purifier VS Air Filters
A: Air filters are normally the result of a physical process of moving air through layers
of filtration. However, ozone generators produce activated oxygen that removes
odors and freshens the air.
Q: Safety Concerns
A: High ozone concentration can be irritating to mucous membranes and the respiratory
system. The right level is when all the generated ozone is being consumed. This only
applies to continuous ozone use in occupied environments-not for shock treating.
With ozone, more is not considered better. Ozone can work even when humans are
not able to smell it.
Q: How Ozone Air Purifiers work
A: Ozone generators create ozone using mechanisms such as ultraviolet light or a
corona discharge (a type of electrical discharge). The machine is also equipped
with a fan that disperses the ozone out into the air. These ozone particles come
into contact with indoor air pollution and neutralize them.
Q: How Long Does Ozone Last
A: As soon as ozone is formed in the generator and dispersed in a room, some of it
everts back into oxygen. Ozone itself has a 30 minute half-life, which means that
half of the ozone created will revert to oxygen usually within 30 minutes. After each
subsequent 30-minute period there would be half as much residual ozone left at the
end of the period as was present at the beginning of the period.
In real life, the half-life is usually less than 30 minutes due to temperature, dust, and
other contaminants in the air. Therefore ozone, while very powerful, doesn't last long.
It does its job and then disappears.
