FYI. There have been reports that the so-called electronic air
cleaners that emit "negative ions" damage rubber products in short
order. For example a pinch roller on a 6 mo old VCR that aged 20
years or a one-month-old drive belt that was crumbling. Other reports
are of rapidly failing rubber seals windows and disintegrating carpet
pads. What was in common with all these reports were various models of
negative-ion air cleaners that had been recently installed. It seems
that the ions penetrate every crevice and will attack rubber.

Hmmm... dunno about that one. I have a couple Trion console units and
one of the Sharper Image models too - had 'em for nearly 10 years and I
never had any trouble with anything, rubber or otherwise. The
conductivity of the air (high humidity) helps produce more ozone so
perhaps a humid southern climate is the cause and effect. The Trion
units will far exceed the capability of the sharper image stuff but no
ill effects here. Laser printers that get used a lot produce tremendous
amounts of ozone but how many secretaries complain about their rubber
bands falling apart? hi
I have the little wall plugin ozonator that came with the sharper image
unit in the shack - none of the rubber bands on stuff in the shack is
rotting and i've had it for 4 years.
