Is the ozone from my furnace harmful?
I have an electrostatic air filter on my furnace. I smell ozone when the furnace is on. Is this harmful to my family’s health? I know some printers give off the same smell and I was told it was ozone as well and that it wasn’t good to keep them on all of the time.
Too much ozone would be bad. It can be harmful to those with respiratory problems, for sure.
However, it is also highly reactive. So a little can be helpful in sterilizing any airborne bacteria as well as many chemical pollutants.
I am not aware of any printers giving off that smell though, so perhaps it is not ozone you are smelling?
