There is an ozone filter in it they say.


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

Last I heard ions are atoms that have either a net positive or net
negative charge. Meaning there are not an equal number of elctrons and
protons. Ozone is just a molecule, O3. The most common oxygen molecule
is, of course, O2. Either molecule can be ionized though.
