Lets talk Ozone Air Purifiers

I would be sure to leave a window open after running a unit. The jury is still out on whether ozone purifiers can be harmful. Depends on how much ozone the machine is generating.

I think I already said this but the pure ozone these things generate isn't good for you at all. You really shouldn't be in a room while these are running. Also air out the room after it has ran for a good few hours. You'll probably realize this when you get a headache and start to feel dizzy.

I have sat in my basement with my machine running for hours at a time and never had any ill effects.
I can get away with smoking a cigar with it off and then turning it on when I'm done, but if I'm having more than 1 or have a few buddies over and we are all smoking, I turn it on and let it run to appease the wife.
None, of my buddies ever complained either.

Also be wary of the power of suggestion.
If someone tells you such and such will give you a headache then it most likely will.
I have seen a bunch of blind tests, where people were told that their food contained MSG but didn't actually have any they all got headaches, while the people who actually had the MSG and were told otherwise, suffered no effects.
