Jeffrey Siegel,
assistant professor of architectural engineering, comments on ozone
created by ionic air purifiers.
The California Air Resources Board recently banned all devices that
create an ozone concentration of more than 50 parts per billion,
starting in 2009. Siegel says that ionic air purifiers fall below
this threshold, but could easily reach such concentrations in small,
