There is an ozone filter in it they say.


The manual says it generates ionized air.
That by definition is ozone



No. You can generate ion flow if yo keep voltage at point below actual
beginning of arching. ozone is normally higher voltage AC so mix charges.
The mixed charged ion generator is used in various production like
electronics for static removal, like bench work. Also used on air spray
nozzles. Ion generators make particles stick to walls, filters, etc. With
an ion generator, it should produce no more ozone than sunshine.

I hate those barrel fans.
