After reading this information you may change your mind. A few years ago I called a manufacturer about a cleaner that can produce ozone. I mentioned that I have a guide dog. His response to turn the ozone generation off or purchase a different model. http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Sherrer" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 11:13 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Air Purification Systems
Ozone is part of nature, such as a lightening strike, when you can smell the ozone. This cleanses the air and land. This is the good ozone. My ozonator has the same smell as the ozone from a lightening strike. Ozone will kill all bacteria, virus, and dust mites in the air by burning them with oxygen. I have a guide dog and had other dogs in the past, and the ozone gets rid of most odors. Tour house never smelled like dog, except when using the vacuum cleaner. One reason why I like ozone is that it neutralizes chemicals. We had new carpet installed. As you may know new carpet has strong odors from the plastic vapors. We put the ozonator in the room and cranked it up all the way since we were going to be out of the house a few days. We came back and had no odors. I believe that bad ozone is ozone mixed with pollution. I do not know when ozone helps pollution or opposes it. I have never smelled ozone on days with high ozone alerts. Since I am telling you what I believe and am not sure, do not believe it, let's find out what bad ozone is. A few years ago I was at a web site that explained the difference and I will look for it.

O3 is O3. At high concentrations, Ozone is a pretty nasty pollutant. Think of it this way, it is used as a disinfectant because it quote kills the microbes that come into contact with it. People may be larger than microbes, but we operate on a lot of the same principles. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
