Ozone Generators that are Sold as Air Cleaners (EPA)
Ozone generators that are sold as air cleaners intentionally produce the gas ozone. Often
the vendors of ozone generators make statements and distribute material that lead the
public to believe that these devices are always safe and effective in controlling indoor
air pollution. For almost a century, health professionals have refuted these claims.
Hazardous Ozone-Generating "Air Purifiers"
Not all air-cleaning devices are appropriate for home use — some can be
harmful to human health.
