![]() ![]() You can select the fan speed settings or let the fan run itself. It also utilizes an intuitive control board, LCD screen, and the best feature is the automatic air quality control. Ideal operation is in rooms 300 to 400 square feet for allergen control and 200 square feet for odor control. The large capacity system will purify the air in rooms up to 600 square feet. ![]() For odor control, you will find the machine also uses a carbon filter, which is ideal for capturing indoor pollutants like cigarette smoke. It is also ideal for capturing most viruses at or above the 3 micron level. The particles include mold, mildew, pet dander, and dust mites. The basic process is a filtration system that uses HEPA filtration to capture particles that cause allergens and contaminate the air. The AeraMax 300 is the largest of the AertaMax line that produces cleaner air and lowers odors. To be concise, an ionic air purifier is not an ozone generator and is deemed safe for residential and personal use. It is also dangerously unsafe to be in a room with an ozone generator in use. Ozone generators are restricted to commercial use only and are not to be sold to the general public. O 3 generation is only a small part of how these purifiers work (see further below for more).Īs long as there are other purification methods, the home and personal ionic air purifiers are safe for use. This is because they are not ozone generators. Because of this standard (brought on by the class action lawsuit against Sharper Image and their Ionic Breeze), ionic air purifiers are regarded as safe. The EPA now regulates how much O 3 a machine can produce. For personal machines, this is reduced to 0.05ppm (parts per million). The recommended amount of ozone in the lower atmosphere that is deemed safe for humans is less than 100ppb (parts per billion). This displaces the oxygen, or O 2 that we need to survive. Ionic air purifiers produce ozone, or O 3. Three oxygen atoms instead of two are all that separate the oxygen we need to breathe and ozone, the oxygen the atmosphere needs to protect us from UV radiation and air impurities. Ozone is essentially oxygen with an extra molecule. The safety concerns come from the fact that ozone can cause difficulty breathing, lung issues, and lowering oxygen in the blood. There is a huge debate about ionic air purifiers and their safety. ![]()
