Ozone's not as bad as you would think. Depending obviously how much in relation to the ventilation and new air supply. But there's a lot of controversy about ozone right now. Anything over 1.500 ppm o3 in your room is dangerous to your plants without proper ventilation. But not because of the ozone "destroying" anything in the plant. What your seeing is actually the plant suffocating. When people breathe in an enclosed room, the oxygen supply is getting shorter and the Co2 content is getting higher. Eventually the Co2 content goes above the point where our lungs can handle the gas and immediately our lungs show signs of asphyxiation. The opposite is true for plants. Except their "lungs" are the leaves. When the oxygen content gets and stays so high that the plant can't absorb enough Co2 to continue photosynthesis and transpiration you are seeing the effect of too much ozone. The same would happen if you put an oxygen generator in an enclosed room with no ventilation. It has nothing to do with Ozone. Ozone is just a purer form of its cousin oxygen and is simply a better oxidizer. It would be like a big co2 tank leaking in a closet we happen to be sleeping in. And if it was as harmful as descibed why would the FDA allow Air purifiers to have ionizers built in? An Ionizer is just another word for a corona discharge ozonator.
I run an ozone generator in my room and the only time I ever saw a sign of damage was when I was drunk and was rearranging plugs and plugged my intake into my 18/6 timer and in the morning I saw spotting, but I run 20 min of ozone at 600mg a min every hour. Plugged intake back into 24/0 and haven't had a problem since.
Ozone is an amazing thing. America is one country I WOULD NEVER listen to in regards to what is or is not good for my Health. Their bastardized studies kill more people then they help every year I'm sure.... Have you been listening lately? Their taking vitamins off the market soon. In GB they've already took them off the shelves and you actually need a prescription if you need vitamins or have a vitamin deficiency. We KNOW vitamins are good... So whats the deal? Doctors in Germany have been successfully CURING cancer for over 20 years with Ozone injection therapy. Yet ozone therapy is illegal in the US... Why? because you can't patent a naturally occurring gas. So there's no money in it for them. So they'd rather pump you full of poison until you die and charge $1000 a mg for it... Pretty much every nasty Bacteria, Virus, Pathogen or Parasite that affects the body is killed by Ozone.
From incurable Cancer to Aids. They're all anaerobic. If you have enough oxygen in your body you CANNOT be affected by these diseases.
I've been breathing and bubbling ozone though my water for almost a year now. Haven't gotten sick once. Everyone else around me has. But I haven't.
Your misinformed that ozone kills ALL organic material. That's not the case at all. It is just a super pure form of oxygen. Oxygen is an oxidizer. But only of foreign material to an oxygen breathing organism or system. The reason it burns your throat is because of the germs and parasitic organisms and anaerobic bacteria in your throat being oxidized by the o3. Not because it's hurting your sinus tissue. Unfortunately there is no deciding factor. It does what it does. If tissue is infected with bad or necrotic tissue it kills ALL the tissue affected. Not good for people swimming in pollution. Pollution is really the only reason we shouldn't be breathing in enormous amounts of ozone. Too much to react with in our bodies. ANYWAYZ.....
Any idea on the mg produced per min on the Air tiger? I'm pretty sure that device is set up as an exhaust duct air treatment device, and not meant to be placed in the room. Probably very high up there...
sorry for the rant... But ozone is cool. I hate seeing it badmouthed.
