I just bought an ozone purifier. Can I use it with an infant in the home?


Worried about ozone level affecting my daughter. But I want the advantage of clean oxygenated air.
Am I OK to use it.

I agree with the previous answer, while ozone is a powerful cleaning agent, it has also been proven to be harmful. I am a certified Indoor Air Quality professional and I recently wrote an article about things to consider in a home air purifier:

You may also want to check the Maerican Lung Association, which also has a section titled "Problems with Ozone"

The EPA also has some great information on their Indoor Air Quality Fact Sheet: Ozone Generators that are Sold as Air Cleaners: An Assessment of Effectiveness and Health Consequences:

The Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety also has a published report about the negative health effects of ozone:

Personally, I don't recommend ozone to anybody who isn't using it to remove sulfur content from their water... Ozone is NOT good stuff, it can cause sore throats, among other minor respiratory problems... I imagine that in a high enough concentration it could cause death, but the amount put out by an ozinator isn't that high... but it could make you or your child uncomfortable. I think you'd be better off with a regular air purifier with an ionizer built in. That should be safe.
