Did You Know?
Air
inside the average American home is more polluted than outside.
Allergic reactions now constitute the single greatest source of
illness in Western society.……….Alfred V. Zamm,
M.D.
Your
Home, Office or Work Place May Be Making You Sick! The EPA (Environment
Protection Agency) has rated indoor air pollution as one of the
top 5 environmental risks to public health.
According
to Mayo Clinic researchers 37 million Americans suffer from sinusitis
caused by fungal infection linked with bad indoor air.
According
to the American College of Allergists almost 50% of all illnesses
are caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air.
According
to recent survey fifty percent of all American homes have mold in
them and asthma attack has increased by 300% in the last 20 years.

Ozone Safety & Research
Research Studies and Facts
Studies have shown that ozone is safe and effective if used properly,
and many have found it to be the best way to reduce or eliminate
odors. The ozone output in the QFL Air Purifiers are programmable.
You can adjust the output, or turn it completely off if not needed
or desired.
Statements from Professional Studies on Ozone
ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air Conditioning): "Ozone controls surface mold on
packages and walls, and reduces scale development and decay. The
presence of ozone . . . . significantly reduces the occurrence of
mold."
Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES):
"Ozone is one of the purest and most powerful oxidants and
germicides known."
How Ozone Purifies the Air
Ozone oxidizes airborne pollutants, then reverts back to oxygen,
transforming polluted air to pure and refreshened air.
Here is how the process works:
Oxygen
molecules (O1 and O2) are converted to ozone (O3) by either a high-voltage
electrical charge (such as from lightning), or by ultraviolet light
(such as from the sun rays).
One
oxygen atom (O1) splits off from the ozone molecule, and reacts
with other particles when it comes within range of a particle and/or
pollutant. Ozone is highly reactive, so it never fails to initiate
this reaction with other particles.
As
the 2nd most powerful oxidant in existance, the single oxygen atom
proceeds to "oxidize" the particle it reacts with. This
means it burns the particle, which changes its physical properties.
As a result, the particle will no longer be toxic, and will no longer
be able to reproduce if it is biological. In other words, the particle
becomes completely harmless.
When
the single oxygen (O1) molecule oxidizes the particle, it too is
destroyed. This leaves behind the O2 it split away from, or pure
and clean oxygen.
Effectiveness of Ozone
Effectiveness at Low Levels
In studies conducted at the Academy of Medical Sciences
in Russia, Dr. Gubernskii and Dr. Dmitriev found that 0.005
ppm (parts per million) to 0.02 ppm of ozone added to normal indoor
air (0 ppm) increased animals' resistance to the cold, to
infection, to toxic substances, and to oxygen deprivation.
A general increase in the immune "biological potential"
and the vital capacity of the lungs was reported.
Dr. Gubernskii and Dr. Dmitriev also performed tests using less
than .01 ppm of ozone in an air-conditioned office building,
which revealed that "the levels of oxygen in the blood
increase relatively quickly and remain at a high level
for the duration of the experiment." They also stated that:
"Atmospheric ozone has a positive effect on animals and people.
It is important to note its positive effect on the breathing system,
blood composition, arterial pressure, immune system, general feeling
of well-being, and mental and physical work capability. The ozone-ion
complex is a necessary component of fresh air that gives it a curative
effect."
This same study, featured in the Russian journal Priroda, also
reports a decrease in complaints of stuffiness (3.8 times
fewer complaints).
Russian scientists performed a study to see how effective ozone
was at improving indoor air quality in schools. Respiratory-related
illnesses were drastically improved after the ozone systems were
installed. The ozone concentration produced by the systems were
0.015 ppm (parts per million).
In testing performed by two scientists by the name of Elford and
Van den Ende, it was found that ozone effectively destroyed bacteria
at 0.04 ppm.
Many publications have published studies showing the effectiveness
of lower concentrations ozone (0.01 to 0.03 ppm) at removing odors
and pollutants. Some of these include the Refrigeration Service
Engineers Society (RSES), U.S. Air Force technical publications,
and Manufacturing Chemist.
Surround Air ionizers produce an ozone concentration of 0.02 ppm
to 0.04 ppm.
Effectiveness against Mold
A 1999 study conducted at the University of Minnesota found that
both ozonated air and water inactivate mold, rendering the mold
cells harmless.
Safetiness of Ozone
Professional Studies
The Refrigeration Service Engineers Society has reported that electric-arc
welders exposed to ozone levels of 0.2 to 0.3 ppm (parts per million)
for a decade showed no adverse effects. The Surround Air Ionizers
produce between 0.02 to 0.04 ppm of ozone.
Also, according to the 1961 Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology,
"During the 80-year history of the large scale usage of ozone,
there has never been a human death attributed to it." To this
day, there has still never been a single human death or
incident of harm attributed to ozone.
This despite the fact that ozone was widely used
in hospitals during the first half of the 20th century, and is still
widely used in European hospitals. In addition, millions of ozone
air purification systems are in use worldwide, both commercially
and residentially.
By Contrast, well over a million people are hospitalized,
and well over 100,000 are killed every year due to medication side
effects, according to the FDA.
Ozone is completely safe and effective when occurring within FDA
and OSHA standards of 0.05 ppm (parts per million).
In healthy and clean outdoor environments, ozone
occurs between 0.02 ppm and 0.05 ppm. Ozone has
not been found to be harmful to the lungs until occurring at concentrations
of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm. However, it is very difficult (if not impossible)
to adjust most ozone air purifiers to produce anywhere close to
this amount of ozone.
Self-Policing
In addition, the smell of ozone will become unpleasant and obnoxious
well before reaching harmful levels, serving as a built-in
and self-policing safety mechanism. If this happens, you
know to make an adjustment (i.e. adjust setting of machine, increase
air flow, place in more open/larger area).
However, at proper levels (0.02 ppm to 0.05 ppm), it will have
a pleasant and clean smell to it, reminiscent of
the smell outside after a lightening storm.
