We heard a lot about the air purifier and saw ads. These devices are touted as saving and solving all problems associated with air pollution. But is it really so? Air purifiers are effective when it comes to trapping particles, such as dust and allergens. However, these devices can not cope with volatile organic compounds, they can not cope with mold, viruses and bacteria, because all this is distributed on surfaces, carpets, eats up in wallpaper, plaster, paint, where odors and pollution begin to form. Why can't air purifiers handle this? Because air purifiers, unlike ozone generators, are not active, but passive devices. This means that they can only cope with what is directly in the air, but the bulk of the contaminants that cause odors, illnesses and ailments are not in the air surrounding us, but lie directly on the surfaces and cannot physically pass through the air purifier .

Ozone, on the other hand, spreads and permeates the entire space, including penetrating into carpets, all kinds of matter, as well as plaster and wallpaper. Ozone destroys harmful compounds, destroys viruses and bacteria. This happens because ozone is a very strong oxidizing agent, which allows the use of this gas for cleaning and disinfection. Official sources confirm that ozone kills almost one hundred percent of bacteria and viruses in less than one minute. Based on this information, we can safely say that to eliminate persistent odors and disinfect indoor air, especially of large volumes, the use of ozone generators is a more effective method than air purifiers.
