Thats a good head nodding generality to make, but an issue...
These are specifically designed to last years without any maintenance, I bet they figured out that less than .02 Parts per million may be ok. Those RGF scientists seem like pretty smart guys and have a ton of research studies.
We should call them and ask
Something tells me they probably don't have clinical studies on chronic low level ozone exposure. a) It would be expensive and b) they may not like the answer and there's no putting that rabbit back in the hat.
The EPA says exposure to levels of .07 ppm or higher over 8 hours is unhealthy. It won't kill you, but it's like getting a sunburn in that doing it repeatedly eventually takes a toll. Considering that the background ozone level at ground level is roughly .01, and this thing pumps out .02, you're halfway there on a normal day for 8 hours of exposure. The problem is that you live in this environment and your exposure is for well over 8 hours a day,everyday.
I swear HVAC guys love to argue bout nanoparticles and ~ 0.01 parts per millionth of something to say it's bad/ not beneficial.
I've been in literally thousands of homes/apartments, when you consider how many ppl never open a window in Texas and the beginning state of their indoor air quality, it's difficult to listen to HVAC guys talk bad science about things like this.
Vastly improving indoor air quality from pet odor, to toilet flushes , Allergens to mold spores and 99% of germs seem like a good bet.
I once listened to a HVAC guy tell me all the reasons on why these are bad while he was smoking a cigarette.. Having theories at the supply houses is one thing- hearing feedback from customers and doing own research is another.
