"Available scientific evidence shows that at concentrations that do
not exceed public health standards, ozone has little potential to
remove indoor air contaminants.",

"There is evidence to show that at concentrations that do not exceed
public health standards, ozone is not effective at removing many
odor-causing chemicals."

"if used at concentrations that do not exceed public health standards,
ozone applied to indoor air does not effectively remove viruses,
bacteria, mold, or other biological pollutants."

We only have to bathe once a year.

ALL RIGHT! )

Reason I'm asking is I picked up two Living Air XL 15's at an estate
sale.
Both have adjustable ozone outputs (measured in sq ft, 0 - 3000) and
adjustable fan speeds. I've been tinkering with one in my computer
room (10
X 11) and find that if keep the output at about 100 sq ft the air
seems
pretty good but if I crank it up much more the odor will drive you
plumb out
of the house. Is the odor when over driven normal? Is it dangerous? I
have
heard that they can cause lung problems but wonder if this is just a
problem
when the are set for too high an output. I think the sales pitch for
these
units CLAIM they work on mold, cat dander and etc.

Turtle mentions that so far no one has mastered controlling these
critters.
One of these units (the one that looks almost new) has an Automatic
setting
and appears to have an air sensor set behind the fan. Wonder if maybe
they
are getting there?

Thanks HeyBub and Turtle for your input, Rob Mills
