Why doesn't Oxynet Solutions sell
ozone generators or ionic air cleaners?
Ozone generators produce the gas ozone, and ionic air cleaners also produce ozone as a by-product. Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms; it’s the same molecule that makes up the "ozone layer" of our upper atmosphere. Stratospheric ozone is a good thing because it protects us from dangerous UV rays; however, ozone in the air we breathe can be harmful to your health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that "relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath, and throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections."
The EPA warning continues: "Available scientific evidence shows that, at concentrations that do not exceed public health standards, ozone is generally ineffective in controlling indoor air pollution."

The EPA advises the public to "use proven methods of controlling indoor air pollution," which include eliminating or controlling sources of pollution, increasing outdoor air ventilation, and using proven methods of air cleaning, such as HEPA air purifiers.
Additionally, the American Lung Association (ALA) agrees that "ozone is a potent lung irritant and exposure to elevated levels is a contributor to the exacerbation of lung disease; it is especially dangerous for persons with asthma and other chronic lung diseases, children, and the elderly."
