Ozone is created by nature in a lightning storm. Without the ozone created people would die. However, when you inhale too much ozone it can be harmful to your health. Let's take a look at the pros and con's of using the Zontec Ozone Generator.
Pros:
- If there was no ozone at all people would die.
- Ozone is oxygen with one extra molecule.
- It is nature's way of cleaning and purifying the air.
- Ozone is produced by nature in a lightening storm so it is natural with no added chemicals.
- At low levels, as found in nature, it is not harmful to our health.
- Zontec comes equipped with a timer that automatically turns on and off, allowing you to treat the room without being present.
