Can ozone be dangerous?
Only when occurring in extremely high concentrations - levels which a Biozone or similar technology air purifier are incapable of producing. The Federal Government and other agencies have set safety guidelines for Ozone concentrations of 0.05 - 0.10 ppm. The Biozone Air Purifier CANNOT produce higher than 0.05 ppm. Reports and studies that raise questions about the safety of ozone deal with ozone levels at or above the recommended concentrations.(Back to Top)

Will my family get fewer colds and flu if I have a air purifier or air cleaner in my home?
While there have been no official studies to confirm this, independent lab tests have confirmed a remarkable reduction in airborne and surface bacteria, when an air purifier or air cleaner is used. Since the majority of colds and flu are caught indoors, an overall reduction in contagions in the air and on things you and your family touch should certainly have a positive effect. (Back to Top)
Will a Biozone or other air purifier cure allergies and asthma?
Air purifiers will not cure allergies or asthma or other breathing problems. They are not designed specifically for the treatment or prevention of any health problem or ailment. However, it has been shown that most asthma and allergy sufferers do benefit greatly from the pollutant reduction these units provide. Mold, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, chemical gases, and other common allergens are all effectively reduced in a Biozone or similar air purifier controlled environment.(Back to Top)
Can I discontinue using my asthma/allergy prescription after I purchase a Biozone® or similar air purifier?
The short answer is, no. The Biozone or other air purifiers effectively eliminate or neutralize many contaminants that trigger an asthma attacks or allergic reactions from your environment. If your prescription is used on an 'as needed' basis, like many inhalers, you MAY find that 'as needed' is less frequent. In this case you should first discuss with your doctor ANY and ALL possible changes to your treatment. (Back to Top)
