Some devices used as air purifiers emit large amounts of ozone. Indoor air cleaners that intentionally emit ozone are often referred to as ozone generators. Ozone generators are not only ineffective at cleaning indoor air, but breathing in ozone poses serious health risks to humans and animals.
Since ozone reacts with some other molecules, manufacturers claim that the ozone produced by these devices will remove particles, chemicals, mold, viruses, bacteria and odors and clean the air. However, ozone is only partially effective at cleaning the air when used at extremely high, unsafe levels that pose a serious health risk. If ozone concentrations are below sanitary standards, it will not effectively remove biological pollutants. In addition, ozone does not remove airborne particles such as dust and pollen, including the particles responsible for most allergies. In short, ozone produced by air purifiers is not very effective at removing chemical pollutants.
In short, ozone, which irritates the lungs, is produced indirectly by ozone generators and is harmful to human health. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set an ozone limit of 0,05 parts per million for medical devices.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also ozone emission analysis services.
