Default Re: OT: Ionize setting on an air filter...

Sometimes these ionizers can create ozone (O3) out of the normal oxygen (O2) in the air. Trace amounts (i.e. less than 0.05 ppm) are not normally a problem, but in an enclosed room it can build up a little, and if you happen to be especially sensitive to it, ozone can cause or exacerbate respiratory problems.
