Ozone regulator has often been referred to as one of the most effective air purifier that is available in the market. This particular purifier works well in removing strong air pollutants from the surrounding. It works by making ozone- which is an unstable form of oxygen- available to bind with the molecules of the pollutants [that could have been released into the atmosphere by microbes such as bacteria, viruses and mold]. Upon this binding, the substance (ozone) disintegrates just as it eliminates the odor- it does leave some residues.
However, despite the enormous advantages that can be derived from them, ozone regulators have their bad side and this is still down to the properties of ozone. Few years back, concerns were raised on the dangers that ozone regulators portend to human health. Due to the strong reactivity of ozone, its potency does not really fade out as residues are left behind and there, is where the problem is. Upon the inhalation of the residual (ozone) gas by man, a reaction could be triggered in the lungs. These reactions can lead to the inflammation of the organ and/or sometimes, infection. Coupled with this, ozone has been implicated in cases of other respiratory disorders; worsening of allergic conditions and also the malfunctioning of the immune system.
So, in a way one would see that ozone regulators could work in sharp contrast; subjecting those that are frequently exposed to it to some of the health complications they (the regulators) had initially protected the such users from. Hence, it is necessary for you not to throw caution to the wind when using an ozone regulator as your air purifier.
