Misinformation

[Guest guest]

If I've learned anything on this thread over the last number of

years is how much Misinformation there is on ozone. Here is an

example, in todays San Francisco's only newspaper, SF Chronicle, a

full page ad on A8:

" Save $50 on Ionic Breeze air purifiers with exclusive new Ozone

Guard ! Converts ozone to oxygen on contact! " Ozone Guard " is our

name for the award -winning PremAir catalyst ...it is an added level

of air cleaning that changes ozone O3 into oxygen O2 on contact...a

significant portion of ground level ozone - plus trace levels of

ozone by - product - that flows into the unit converts to oxygen

before the cleaned air circulates back into the room. "

First of all, what ozone are they referring to? In a household

where is this ozone? In a major city maybe there is pollution, but we

have learned that ozone is highly unstable and combines with

particles and chemicals and falls out of the atmosphere to ground

level, but ozone in itself is not the problem ever. It always gets

the bad rap from the polluters. It's like saying the Police are the

bad guys because they are always around the criminal element. But

that's the spin on ozone, how can the public ever come to an

understanding of ozone with ads like this? ...Dean
