The Dangers of Ozone Air Purifiers
Simply put, the answer is "Yes". You can create dangerous smog levels in your own home with an ozone-generating air purifier.

Exposure to ozone irritates and inflames the lining of the respiratory system, which causes symptoms such as coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Ozone can also worsen asthma symptoms, with one study indicating that ozone may contribute to the development of asthma itself.

Ionic Air Purifiers vs. Air Purifiers:

Ionizers simply get rid of the charge in a dust particle so that they stick to surface rather than linger through the air. However indoor air purifiers have the ability to actually eliminate odors though a carbon filter.

Ionic air purifiers only spit out negative ions that neutralizes oxidizers. As a result, dust becomes statically charged and sticks to a surface. However, ionic air purifiers cannot actually clean or filter the air. On the other hand, air purifiers with HEPA filters and carbon activation can eliminate mold spores, odors, smoke, pet hair, and be used to treat allergies, asthma and provide a pristine indoor air quality for home, office, and medical uses.

If you want safe and EPA approved air cleaners, consider the BlueAir Air Filter, the AustinAir Air Cleaner, and the IQ Air Purifier.
