is the o3 generated from these dangerous?

ive really never done any research on that. I just love it because it works.

I am aware that some devices produce unsafe levels of ozone. However, I've been using Sani-Mate in my bathroom and in my bedroom for 10 years now with nothing but good results. The amount of ozone is minimal--just enough to freshen the air and retard the growth of mold, bacteria and fungus. Be sure to position your Sani-Mate as high in the room as possible for maximum efficiency.

Because ionisers emit ozone. Ozone can be good for the air, but in actuality, ozone emissions can be extremely harmful to us. I've done TONS of research on ionic filters and what i've found shocked me! Repeated exposure to ion emissions can cause a myriad of health problems, including but not limited to; Resperitory problems as well as eye and nose irritation.

They shouldn't be allowed. They can be combustible when combined with certain chemicals. I would double check though.

I would not know about that. Sounds dangerous to me. Something like that I would contact the manufacturer before doing something other then it's described use.

I do not have this specific problem, but the O3 option removes all odors and leaves a fresh air smell. Just follow instructions on opening windows and exposure in the manual.

If you believe the company's claim that it is not an ozone generator then I believe it appears to be a hydrogen peroxide generator. See my comment to the question here about what technology does this use. I explain in more detail including safety.

I would be very cautious. Considering the oxidative damage that is likely from the vapors of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid, I would imagine that this unit would be damaged quite quickly .

According to the rep that assisted me he said, the O3 is not toxic but he recommended not having anyone or anything in the room that breathes. Just turn it on, take your cats on an errand for bout n hour. Go back to your place, turn off O3, open the windows or ventilate and you should be good. I turn it on, take my dog for a walk, then come back n ventilate. I love it.

I would strongly suggest against it. Over pressurizing can lead to the canister exploding. I saw one go once. Pretty scary.

I am not sure. All ionizing air purifiers I have experienced do this. Some people say that just using the ionization function is bad for you due to the radicals it created(those that say this are equating these radicals with the free radicals in your body that antioxidants kill)

cannot really answer that honestly as I never used it. When it arrived I read the box and it stated that one should never use near oxygen and since I am COPD I am on the stuff 24/7.

yes, the answer is easy . . . you are burning the oxygen up , and the safety is shutting down the unit . . . had my unit doing the same thing . . . thought the regulator or the pilot system was defective . . . bought a second regulator . . . only when I lit the unit outside after another shutdown , did I read the booklet and finally understand that there is an O2 sensor , that will shut the unit down when the level of O2 is dangerously low . . . I needed to essentially "open a window" to keep the unit running continuously . . . it took some time and experimentation to find the smallest opening to allow an exchange of O2 and not "give away " too much efficiency . . . yes, the answer is easy . . . you are burning the oxygen up , and the safety is shutting down the unit . . . had my unit doing the same thing . . . thought the regulator or the pilot system was defective . . . bought a second regulator . . . only when I lit the unit outside after another shutdown , did I read the booklet and finally understand that there is an O2 sensor , that will shut the unit down when the level of O2 is dangerously low . . .

Yes. The company calls it "activated oxygen," but that's just another term for ozone (aka O3 or trioxygen). Ozone generators are also used in hot tubs and swimming pools as a way to keep the water clean while reducing the amount of chlorine or bromine needed for sanitation.

We use the generator in a enclosed room for testing nylon parts.My guy's will not go into the room without airing it out as breathing ozone will kill the good stuff in your lungs

No, it does not generate ozone when the Plasmacluster ion function switch is on. I have had the unit running constantly since I purchased it a few months ago & not smelled anything.

I wouldn't due to these are compact air tubes. Possibilty of an "explosion" I would guess. Not a major one, but wouldn't take the chance.

Yes, all UV-C products produce dangerous amounts of ozone! See: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03323.htm
