How AromaMAX™ Ionizers Purify the Air

Ozone oxidizes airborne pollutants, and then reverts back to oxygen, transforming polluted air to pure and refreshed air.

Here is how the Ionization process works:
Oxygen molecules (O1 and O2) are converted to ozone (O3) by either a high-voltage electrical charge (such as from lightning), or by ultraviolet light (such as from the sun rays).
·  One oxygen atom (O1) splits off from the ozone molecule, and reacts with other particles when it comes within range of a particle and/or pollutant.  Ozone is highly reactive, so it never fails to initiate this reaction with other particles.
·  As the 2nd most powerful oxidant in existence, the single oxygen atom proceeds to "oxidize" the particle it reacts with.  This means it burns the particle, which changes its physical properties.  As a result, the particle will no longer be toxic, and will no longer be able to reproduce if it is biological.  In other words, the particle becomes completely harmless.
·  When the single oxygen (O1) molecule oxidizes the particle, it too is destroyed.  This leaves behind the O2 it split away from, or pure and clean oxygen.

Effectiveness of Ozone at Low Levels
Russian scientists performed a study to see how effective ozone was at improving indoor air quality in schools.  Respiratory-related illnesses were drastically improved after the ozone systems were installed.  The ozone concentration produced by the systems was 0.015 ppm (parts per million).
    Two scientists, Elford and Van den Ende, tested the performance and it was found that ozone effectively destroyed bacteria at 0.04 ppm.  In addition numerous publications have published studies showing the effectiveness of lower concentrations ozone (0.01 to 0.03 ppm) at removing odors and pollutants.  Some of these include the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES), U.S. Air Force technical publications, and Manufacturing Chemist.

Test Results
Disinfections of the pollutants below were measured in identical conditions within a containment chamber, with one exception.  In one chamber, the pollutants were exposed to a relatively stable 0.05 parts per million of ozone concentration, and normal room air in the other chamber (close to 0 ppm).  Pollutant count measurements were taken before, during, and after the 4-hour testing period.  Each chamber began with an identical amount of the tested pollutants. 

* Ratio of how much more pollutants remained in the "non-ozone" chamber than the "ozone" chamber after the 4-hour testing period.

Statements from Professional Studies on Ozone
ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning):  "Ozone controls surface mold on packages and walls, and reduces scale development and decay.  The presence of ozone significantly reduces the occurrence of mold."
    Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES):  "Ozone is one of the purest and most powerful oxidants and germicides known."

Professional Studies on Ozone Safety
Ozone is completely safe and effective when occurring within FDA and OSHA standards of 0.05 ppm (parts per million).  In healthy and clean outdoor environments, ozone occurs between 0.02 ppm and 0.05 ppm.  Ozone has not been found to be harmful to the lungs until occurring at concentrations of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm.  However, it is very difficult (if not impossible) to adjust most ozone air purifiers to produce anywhere close to this amount of ozone. 
    The Refrigeration Service Engineers Society has reported that electric-arc welders exposed to ozone levels of 0.2 to 0.3 ppm (parts per million) for a decade showed no adverse effects.  Also, according to the 1961 Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, "During the 80-year history of the large scale usage of ozone, there has never been a human death attributed to it."  To this day, there has still never been a single human death or incident of harm attributed to ozone. 
    Ozone was widely used in hospitals, during the first half of the 20th century, and is still widely used in European hospitals.  In addition, millions of ozone air purification systems are in use worldwide, both commercially and residentially.  Environmentalists now realize that to be fully protected people need to have Ionizers in their vehicles where most pollution gets trapped in this closed environment.  However, the AromaMAX maintains the proper levels (0.02 ppm to 0.05 ppm).  The automobile will have a pleasant and clean smell to it at all times.  With the AromaMAX Ionizers, you will not smell ozone but only the aroma of the therapy health tablets that you insert in the “fragrance basket”.  Your automobile will immediately have a pleasant fragrance and at the same time air quality will be enhanced.

Guaranteed Proper Ozone Levels with AromaMAX™ Ionizer
The AromaMAX Ionizers will produce about 0.02 ppm to 0.04 ppm (parts per million) of ozone, which is well within the safety standards of 0.05 ppm of the FDA and OSHA.  Other types of air purifiers over produce ozone however, if this ozone becomes trapped in a smaller area than what the unit was rated to cover, the ozone level can become too high
