No. I believe it has an ionizer, but does not produce Ozone. I used it in a Large Yukon and did not notice that it ever did anything to help. It may work better in a Honda Civic.

It uses a filter rather than ions to clean the air. So it should not emit ozone.

While I am unable to state how much ozone is produced, I can tell you how I use the unit. I put the unit into any room in my house that has an odor, run it for a couple of hours, and then let the room air out, and odor is gone. I also use it under sinks, or anywhere that I might have mold, and again it has worked very well.

This product emit ozone due to the UV-C light. High concentration of ozone is a hazard to health.Please copy and paste this link and learn some more: http://urbanclinic.net/2011/08/13/what-you-need-to-know-about-ozone-and-air-purifiers/

Yes it does, but I don't use it because of my pets. It puts the ozone on very high setting.

Only ionizers produce ozone, this machine works strictly with two physical filters, one which needs regular replacement, the other which needs regular cleaning, but can be replaced too if need be.

Not sure how you could tell it didn't generate ozone but yes the light is just for power on.

I have no idea, Pat. I use it in my greenhouse full of orchids. I don't thinkmy orchids care about ozone and I've never used it. The owner's manual shouldgive you instructions on its use.

Yes, all UV-C products produce dangerous amounts of ozone! See: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03323.htm

Yes...it is on 24/7. This light does not emit ozone. The UV lights that emit ozone must go on and off with the fan so the ozone doesn't build up in the air handler.ThanksScottClean Air Solutions LLC

No, this product does not emit ozone. The UV-C bulb has a special coating that prevents the release of ozone. In my view this product is a superior product over an electrostatic air purifier because of it's True HEPA filter. More air is circulated with the AC4825 and pushed through the HEPA filter which can capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as .3 microns in size. UV-C is an added benefit because it is proven to kill viruses and bacteria.

I do not know if the air purifier emits ozone. I do know that they do a great job, especially if you have animals in the house. I take the first filter (not the hepa) off 2 times a month and vacuum the dustoff it and it is thick...you can't even see the brown color filter thru it. From what I have read, an air purifier with an ionizer should be avoided. This whirlpool uses a fan motor and does not have an ionizer, to pull the air in. The hepa filter looks just like it did when it was new so the first filter catches most of what it pulls in. I am not worried about ozone with this model. Hope this helps.

The photocatalytic process does produce a small amount of ozone, but I too am wondering how much is produced by this specific model. It should not be as much as the ionizing filters produce.

If it is still making the little electric arc then it is making ozone. Just blow out any dust from the machine that plugs air flow.

No, not at all. I use ozone all the time and it hasn't caused us any problems.
