There's quite a controversy going on about ozone/ion air purifiers. They generate ozone for odor control. From what I've read, it doesn't actually eliminate the odor, but deadens your sense of smell. The ozone generated can harm the linings of your lungs, and exacerbate asthma. I can't say for sure that this is the last word on them, but one of the articles I read was from the California EPA, so I'm a bit wary of them thus far. I didn't know any of this, but I was researching air purifiers because since it's been so hot, and I've had to close the windows and run the a/c, my kitten room has been smelling very...um..."kitteny".
Oh dear...I wouldn't risk it at all!Originally Posted by clixpix

a really good deoddoriser if you ever wanted to try one is the wilkinsons own brand. i like their litter too.
When I lived with my parents, they had (and still have) an air purifier/ionizer with ozone You can adjust the amount of ozone the unit produces. Believe me, if you have too much ozone concentrated in a room, you will get very dizzy, get a headache, and it will affect your breathing!! When it builds up like this, you can smell it. The salesman who sold my parents the unit, claimed that ozone is at a safe level as long as you can't smell it. I really don't know what to believe.Originally Posted by clixpix
