Is there ozone imission? Only negative ions?

Hello C K. I don't know the answer to your question and I would suggest contacting manufacturer. All the best to you.

Your question is rather vague...I assume you are referring to the ozone odor? If so, your ozone plate inside the machine is probably burned out. Search yahoo for replacement. Many sites have them available.

While the idea of the negative ions is a nice one, the amounts emitted by any of these salt lamps are way too low for any measurable result to be detected. So, use it as a beautiful, pleasing light. Don't use it as an air purifier. I have used three of these lamps in different sizes (two very large ones) and I know for a fact that there is no air purifying effect with them. We DO, however, love them for their glow and leave ours on all the time. If you have difficulty believing what I say, go here http://abreathofreason.com/tag/salt-lamp/

With human nose and eyes, I cannot detect any ozone emission. The question may be best directed to the manufacturer.

No ozone whats so ever. It does emit negative ions that are harmless and help clean the air in addition to the filters. Blue Air also employs negative ions, but I believe the RBbit is a much better product --I own a Blueair purifier and the filters are way expensive and last only 6 months and the Rabbit does just as good a job cleaning the air, if not better. Hope this helped.

I don't see about "ozone" in their specifications my advice to you is call Fellowes Customer Service and ask them directly, I bought 2 of this for my daughters since they have cats they both swear that you can feel the difference with this air purifier.

The high voltage may be produce ozone, which has a distinctive smell. The air produced by the air purifier does not have the smell of ozone, unlike cheaper electrostatic precipitation systems!

According to the manufacturer it produces very small but harmless amounts of ozone. This is not how it cleans the air, however.

I'm not familiar with any EPA statements concerning ozone (or activated oxygen as the SoClean company calls it.) If you would like to learn more it, there are several YouTube videos that give complete descriptions of how it works. In my experience, the result is excellent and I wouldn't be without it.

"All of our air purifiers have been tested to comply within the ozone safety requirements set forth by California Air Resources Board. Our BioGS model emits zero ozone when the negative ion generator is on or off and our MinusA2 emits zero ozone on all speeds once you have turned off the Negative Ion Generator. An amount of 0.002 ppm (parts-per-million) was recorded at low fan speed of our MinusA2 with the negative ionizer turned on. That is 25 times less than the 0.05 ppm maximum ozone concentration safety standard set forth by the California Air Resources Board." - http://www.rabbitair.com/faq.aspx "All of our air purifiers have been tested to comply within the ozone safety requirements set forth by California Air Resources Board.

yes, every airborne single celled organism that contacts Ozone, will be 'electrocuted' by the extra electron that is liberated when the Ozone returns to regular oxygen on contact with organic mater. Larger groups of cells ( people ) disipate this electron harmlessly, and in fact, enjoy electrons from Oxygen, unlike anaerobic organisms ( most parasites ). Breathing ozone, at a mild non irritating level, is pleasant and healthy. At levels greater than that, it is irritating when not used to it. The maximum pleasant level is the best, and even at this level is killing every pathogen it contacts. Remember that there are billions of pathogens floating around at any given time, so you can't expect to kill them all in a few minutes. Either saturate the room in your absence, or as high a level as you can enjoy, continually. It will kill them on surfaces, but is faster in air since they aren't protected on one side, so have greater chance of contact with the Ozone, which you should think of as antibiotic laden tennis balls. It has to 'hit' the pathogen to dump the antibiotic electron. The greater the concentration of floating tennis balls, the greater chance to hit the pathogens. When we breath these 'tennis balls', they continue this good work from within, electrocuting anaerobes, as our blood cells carry these ozone molecules around just like regular oxygen, aerating us ( which we like ) and the anaerobes ( which they don't like ).

If it is still making the little electric arc then it is making ozone. Just blow out any dust from the machine that plugs air flow.

I was not completely sure about the answer to this, so I did a little research. From what I could find, it emits 1 part/billion, but that all electronics do emit some ozone, and that anything under 80 parts/billion is safe. I hope this info was helpful - if not, I'd say try contacting Therapure Customer Service directly.

Barely works. Doubt it could be ionizing. I used to have a negative ion generator and it is a different kind of unit.

I called the company directly, was transferred to an overseas operator, who said it does produce ozone at 5ppb. 50ppb is the maximum recommended by ??? (she was kind of vague on that one). i wonder whether they understand the technology or all the different emission standards we have here ...

The flashing light shows that negative ions are detected by the unit, which means it is generating ions.

Ozone is not emitted, it is created through a photochemical reaction at 240 nm, which is in the UV-C range. It is created back to oxygen at 320 nm.
