Q: What is Ozone
A: Ozone exists in the ozone layer region of the atmosphere to protect human beings from the
sun’s ultraviolet radiation. We also sense its fresh and clean smell after thunderstorms. Now
we have Airthereal Ozone Generators to move this nature’s powerful sterilizer into your
house. Ozone (O3) contains three atoms of oxygen. The third oxygen atom makes ozone
extremely reactive, which readily attaches itself to other molecules. When odors, bacteria or
viruses meet ozone, oxidation reactions occur and both parties are destroyed. Ozone
essentially reverts back to oxygen. That’s why it’s environment friendly.
Q: Ozone Air Purifier VS Air Filters
A: Air filters are normally the result of a physical process with air. However, ozone air
purifiers produce activated oxygen that removes odors and freshens the air.
Q: Safety Concerns
A: High ozone concentration can be irritating to mucous membranes and the respiratory
system. The right level is when all the generated ozone is being consumed. This only applies
to continuous ozone use in occupied environmentsnot for shock treating. With ozone, more is
not considered better. Ozone can work even when humans are not able to smell it.
Q: How Ozone Air Purifiers work
A: Ozone generators create ozone using mechanisms such as an ultraviolet light or a corona
discharge (a type of electrical discharge). The machine is also equipped with a fan that
disperses the ozone out into the air. In theory, these ozone particles will come into contact
with indoor air pollution and neutralize them — for instance, by killing living pollutants such
as bacteria.
Q: How Long Does Ozone Last
A: As soon as ozone is formed in the generator and dispersed in a room, some of it reverts
back into oxygen. Ozone itself has a half-life, which means that “residual” ozone created
(extra ozone) will return to oxygen usually within 30 minutes, in amounts equal to half its
level. What this means is that after each subsequent 30minute period there would be half as
much residual ozone left at the end of the period as was present at the beginning of the
