Are small home air purifiers safe?
I read somewhere that someone’s air purifier caused a weird smell in the room, this sounds a little questionable to me. Are home air purifiers safe?

There are "safe" levels of ozone that are to be listed right on your machine. Low levels of ozone seems to refresh a home or room form odors like fish cooking odors and such. I have used an ozone machine for years. I leave it on high output whenever we are not home to clean the odors from the house, then turn it down when I get home.
They give off ozone, that’s the smell. Had one, $400.00, didn’t really notice a difference, at least for the price. Returned unit.
Not all are safe. you are in trouble. Run as fast as you can or get rid of tha damn thing.
i have an ozonator in my house, one that i use to ozonate the water… i don’t really avoid the smell of ozone, i like to take a whiff once in a while. a researcher by the name of bob beck describes ozone in one of his videos on youtube
The weird smell is ozone. Excellent for getting rid of odors, bad for your health. Commercial cleaning companies use ozone for getting smoke smell out of hotel rooms, cars, etc. Do not use ozone to clean your air. Ozone kills live tissue (your lungs)!! Take a look at the Sun Pure SP-20C at http://www.allergy-relief-air-purifier.com/air_purifiers_for_asthma.html. This is the top of the line portable air purifier with features that clean particles, kill mold and viruses and also neutralizes odors and gases like VOC’s and carbon monoxide. You will be hard pressed to find an air purifier with all these features in one package and utilizes a hospital grade HEPA filter, not a 1/4" filter sheet. I hope this helps.
