Ozone is an allotrophic, triatomic form of oxygen that is normally a faintly blue gas with a characteristic pungent odor and is used especially in disinfections and deodorization and in oxidation and bleaching. It reacts with organics to oxidize unpleasant odors and to kill bacteria and germs. Ozone occurs when an electrical charge molecularly disassociates a stable molecule (O2<) and splits them apart leaving two unstable atoms of oxygen. Seeking stability, these atoms attach to other oxygen molecules creating ozone (O3<).

This third oxygen atom is loosely attached or 'unstable' and can easily separate from the ozone molecule to combine with other substances thereby readily decomposing or changing into other compounds.

Yes, it does. This new technology produces much higher polymers of oxygen such as O4< and O5<, which subsequently break down to O3< and O2<. With production of these higher forms of oxygen, a more active oxidizer is formed.

Oxidation is the combination of a substance with oxygen. Oxidation means a substance undergoes a chemical change resulting in a different substance. Odors and pollutants are broken down to harmless, odorless compounds such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and oxygen. If no pollutant is present, oxidation takes place within the ozone molecule itself causing the ozone to revert back to pure oxygen within a period of 20-50 minutes.

Ozone in heavy dosages is not recommended. Low levels of ozone are completely safe. The Natural Air units are designed to operate below US regulatory limits for ozone. There are no dangers associated with ionization.

There are NO maintenance costs, no changing filters or plates, no cleaning of filters or plates - you don't even have go to go into the machine. Lightning Air units are very user friendly!

The term "Sick Building" can be referred to as a tightly sealed building with little or no ventilation where odors, bacteria, mold and mildew, chemical gases, carbon monoxide, and dust build-up can create a potential health hazard. Reducing exposure to these pollutants might demand only modest alterations in one's daily routine, but small amounts of user-controlled ozone, preferably combined with ions, can be very effective at purifying and revitalizing your indoor air. Considering the safety, the level of effectiveness and the make up of our current indoor environment, it would seem that the closest alternative to opening the window is to restore the vitality of the air by replacing the ozone and ionization that occurs naturally outdoors each day.
