Many air purifiers that have been sold, and are still available today, have been shown to produce dangerously high levels of ozone. New air quality study reports are revealing the negative side effects of direct ozone exposure. Get the advantage of safer ion Oxidation cleaning and nanotechnology with the NANO O2™ UV air purifier system. We set out to market a safe residential air purifier that could produce safe, low concentrations of ozone that would not exceed the .04 ppm Federal limits. This was accomplished in the early 1990's, about the same time as the Federal Government was going after the ozone blasting residential units that exceeded this standard. This battle of the Feds and air purifier manufacturers, like Sharper Image's Ionic Breeze, gave ozone a very bad name.

With the Nano metalic coating technology to build a device that produces safe, low concentrations of ozone and the ability to ensure a room would not exceed .04 ppm, it was time to set out to validate the use of this device on mold, VOC's, odors and bacterial. Particle size has been the only limiting factor to silver, titanium and other base metals effectiveness as an anti-bacterial agent. Now through nano-technology, a rapidly growing science of producing and utilizing particles that measure in nanometers (1 billionth of a meter), silver, Titanium oxides can be used efficiently as an antimicrobial in medicines, air filters, clothing and personal hygiene products. Fox TV News was doing a three-part series on indoor air problems and tested one of the older name brand of excessive ozone producing units. The purifier they had tested was producing 18 ppm ozone, a lethal amount that drove the camera crew and news reporter right out of the office. The Fox people then asked if they could independently test the PCO technology used in the original NanoO2 air purifier. They ran tests supervised by an independent air specialist and two medical doctors. The series turned out to be a fantastic infomercial for this technology. The results couldn't have been better. Fox ran this on their national news network and their national health news. Popular Science picked up the story for their magazine and ran it on the Popular Science TV Show.

The original NANO O2™ PCO Cell was designed for use in a central HVAC system. This provides the fastest and most effective oxidizer distribution. Rhodium, Titanium, Silver and other metallic coatings were added as a catalyst to emit cleaning bacteria destroying ions. Then improved hydration compounds were also added to increase hydrogen content and a total new bulb target concept was used. A 360 degree cell provided maximum exposure of the catalysts. The UC-C bulb was reworked into a HE/UV Broad Spectrum 100-3-NM bulb with a heavy duty filament was developed. This combined with a soft start ballast gave the new NanoO2 Cell an unprecedented 3 year, 25,000 hour life. This was a major improvement over the current standard 8,000-10,000 hour UV bulb life. The most important improvement was the efficacy, the new NanoO2 cell design created more hydro peroxides, super oxide ions while bringing down ozone levels to only .01-.015 ppm (less then half the federal max safe levels). Country or forest air is usually around .01-.02 ppm of ozone.
