ionic breezes don't do jack. and yea, ozone can be bad for your lungs, especially if you have three in one room

consumer reports released reports saying the ionic breeze was ineffective as an air purifier. sharper image then sued them, but the case was thrown out because sharper image basically couldn't refute anything consumer reports said.

then the whole ozone issue came into light:

for those that still think ionic breezes work and are worth the ridiculous retail price, please read this:

One study was deemed irrelevant by Consumers Union because the Ionic Breeze was used as a particle collector, not as an air-cleaning device. To put that difference into perspective, you can collect the dust particles that settle out of the air and onto a tabletop in a room, but that doesn't make the table an air cleaner.
