Why Is Ozone-free An Important Requirement When Deciding on a Bipolar Ionization Machine?

When using bipolar ionization in the building, it is critical that it does not produce ozone (O3). According to the EPA (2020), ozone can have serious repercussions on human health, particularly to the respiratory system. Symptoms that can arise from inhalation of ozone include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and can even lead to the onset of asthma and the inability to fight respiratory infections. Although it is useful in the atmosphere, ozone is a toxic gas to us, and is very different from the oxygen (O2) we breathe. 

Ozone machines were popular in the past due to the pleasant smell that they produce, but it was quickly learned that the inhalation of ozone is quite dangerous. Ozone machines are still available on the market, making it important that when picking a bipolar ionizer for a building that it is not one that produces ozone. 

The ISO-Aire implements bipolar ionization without the production of ozone, making it a safe and effective method in improving indoor air quality.
