long term effect of breathing in ozone

Hi All,

Just recently i purchased Ionic Breeze, an air purifier...i just read the instruction manual and found out that while this machine purifies air, it produces ozone...

now, does anyone know the effect of breathing in the ozone as a byproduct of this machine's purifying the air in my room?

Thank you in advance for each and everyone of your input.

SaltWaterBlue,

Thank you so much for the links...although i've not checked them out yet, they sure look like plenty of info...

by the way, i tried that ionic breeze last night and this morning ended up waking up feeling tired with small blood clots in my nose after 10 hours of sleep...

i'd took care of the return/refund request for this thing...

when i used my hepa filter, same thing happened to me at times except the blood clots in my nose...and i don't remember sleeping 10 hours straight as if i were allergic to the air i was breathing in...

well, so much testimonal for that ionic breeze...gosh, it cost me $350 too and the lady that sold me the product first sold me one that cost me about $500...i don't know if it were a genuine mistake or her attempt to make a higher sale...i specified what i wanted and verified w/ her afterwards too...oh well, i'm glad that they agreed to send me a RM label for the refund...gosh, now i'm just hoping that they would actually give me the refund...

thanks again for your info, SaltWaterBlue...your nick just makes me want to go live by the water(ocean, lake, river, etc) :)
