Does it have any ozone emission?

"All of our air purifiers have been tested to comply within the ozone safety requirements set forth by California Air Resources Board. Our BioGS model emits zero ozone when the negative ion generator is on or off and our MinusA2 emits zero ozone on all speeds once you have turned off the Negative Ion Generator. An amount of 0.002 ppm (parts-per-million) was recorded at low fan speed of our MinusA2 with the negative ionizer turned on. That is 25 times less than the 0.05 ppm maximum ozone concentration safety standard set forth by the California Air Resources Board." - http://www.rabbitair.com/faq.aspx "All of our air purifiers have been tested to comply within the ozone safety requirements set forth by California Air Resources Board.

If by that you mean can you detect an ozone oder; no, you can't. I love this unit. It has a mind of its own , but it's never interruptive. Mine is set on automatic, and when it decides the air needs cleaning, it advances to a higher setting... Still quiet as a whisper. Greatest air cleaner on the market. If the negative ion setting bothers you intellectually, you can turn that feature off.

With human nose and eyes, I cannot detect any ozone emission. The question may be best directed to the manufacturer.

No ozone whats so ever. It does emit negative ions that are harmless and help clean the air in addition to the filters. Blue Air also employs negative ions, but I believe the RBbit is a much better product --I own a Blueair purifier and the filters are way expensive and last only 6 months and the Rabbit does just as good a job cleaning the air, if not better. Hope this helped.

It has some odor, but not much. We do not use an exhaust when using this fryer. We love it

Yes it produces ozone but not in high concentration . otherwise we could have coped with global warming by using these fans . LOL You can google more and let me know too. I uses this feature rarely when i feel there is dust around to ionize it and settle it down.

THANK YOU! I am so excited to see this. I bought it a year ago, but turned it off month ago because I hated the smell it produced. I wondered if the smell was ozone, but it's not supposed to produce ozone. However, a friend said that the ionization (the PlasmaWave part) turns oxygen into ozone, so...it does produce ozone. Glad to know that I can turn off the PlasmaWave. I'm going to clean it out and start it up again and see if it still produces that unpleasant smell.

Yes, you do not need to use the ozone feature. In fact, you probably should not -- any benefits are dubious but the health damage can be very real. Fortunately it is controlled separately.

No. I looked it up online. It is one of the few that is petroleum-free. It also works very well!

Yes, all UV-C products produce dangerous amounts of ozone! See:http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03323.htm

No, not at all. I use ozone all the time and it hasn't caused us any problems.

The photocatalytic process does produce a small amount of ozone, but I too am wondering how much is produced by this specific model. It should not be as much as the ionizing filters produce.

I don't like the smell of an ozone generator. I don't smell that with this air purifier, as it is more neutral, although I'm no expert.

I own this and have for almost a year--we really like it! It's a true Hepa filter but I don't believe it emits ozone. I've had filters that do that, and there's always a strange smell....this is a great one

Not on the device I belive but dident read that into the instructions there is a lot of info on ozone on the net biggest thing is if your sensitive to Ozone it's best not to be in the room while you're doing the wash otherwise it's not that bad unless you stick your head in the washer

It is supposed to. However the water smells like ozone, unit is noisy. Can only use glass containers. I no longer use it.

I don't smell ozone like I did when I had ionic breezes... not sure, though. This product DOES really work!

Yes, you will notice an " ozone" smell. It is not unpleasant and gets rid of cooking odors. I think it freshens the house

No, you cannot turn off the ozone elements, but you can reduce the "room size" setting so that it produces less ozone. It is certianly meant to be used intermittently. It is a great product...really works...cleans the air, doesn't just cover up. I hav eowned one for 8 years.

Not to my knowledge. It has been a great air cleaner for the first six months. Will most likely purchase a second one soon.
