Ok ive been reading up on the air purifier i have that i mentioned in my first post for quite some time now.
Here is some stuff i found:
This product does the exact thing as the Ionic Breeze in the infomircials. It ionizes the air. I know that the positively charged particles cling to everything but thats not too big of an issue given that it comes with a carbon filter, and a really expensive hepa type filter called an "ecohelp" filter that sits behind the carbon filter. So it turns out that i wont even need a different filtration system if this air purifier works out.
it seems that the only thing that i have to worry about is that this air purifier emits about 360 mg of ozone an hour, ozone an unstable molecuel that contains three oxygen atoms. now the idea is supposed to be that since the molecuel is unstable, a single oxygen molecuel will break off and attach to odor molecuels, turning them into different molecuels and releasing co2 (carbon dioxide.), o2 (oxygen, durr), and i believe just H or hydrogen as a bi product , correct me if im wrong.
But, i also heard that o3 or ozone that doesnt attach to odor negatively impacts photosynthesis by reducing the amount of co2 that the plant can process, i read this from a study done by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This clashes with many stories that ive heard of people using ozone generators in their grow rooms, so could someone clear this issue up? has anyone actually used an ozone generator in the same room with their plants?
