A:Answer With Blueair products, you can breathe easy, with no increased danger from ozone. That’s because for 20 years, Blueair has been putting our air purifiers through independent tests to ensure that they do not release ozone. In fact, tests have shown that our products can actually lower ozone concentrations, with the ozone concentration in our system’s output air lower than in the incoming air.
The tests are carried out in accordance with the California Air Resource Board (CARB) certification program, the most stringent requirements in the world for air purifiers. Working with Intertek, a CARB accredited test lab, Blueair products undergo a comprehensive series of tests to measure ozone emissions. In these 8-hour-long tests, air purifiers are tested on high and low speed – with and without the filter installed. The Intertek facility features environmental chamber technology, the most trusted and proven scientific method available for testing to see if products produce ozone.
None of the Blueair products tested and investigated produced detectable ozone levels. Not only were Blueair purifiers found to comply with the requirements of the UL Standard 867 Section 37.1.2 criteria for emitting a maximum ozone concentration of less than 0.050 ppm, but also no measurable ozone concentration was detected at all.
