Okay, I did a quick search and here are the findings:

Ideal Ozone Level.
Most of the negative ions air purifier available in the market generates excessive amount of Ozone. A small amount of Ozone increases indoor air quality, kills bacteria and fungus. It also helps your body to enhance oxygen capacity of blood, vitalize body cells, regulate the functioning of the immune system. However, some assumptions have grown up around ozone, focused on the fact that ozone can cause allergy if inhaled in large quantities.

The WHO (World Health Authority) guidelines, say that the maximum acceptable level of ozone is 0.1ppm (parts per million). FDA and OSHA standards require ozone level of no more than 0.05 ppm. Our Neotec XJ-2000 Air Purifier have the capability to produce up to 1,000,000 negative ions/cm³ with Ozone output of less than 0.04 ppm which is well within the WHO, FDA and OSHA standard.


Appropriate amount of Negative Ions(High but not over abundance).
Some air purifiers produce excessive number of negative ions (up to billion) in a very small area. It can cause so-called "gray-walling" or "black-walling" which is the dirt particles and black residue near the needle are electro-plated or built up to the wall. As a result, it will be hard to clean the purifier. Neotec air purifier generates the high number of negative ions without having the gray-wall effect.

Conclusion: It may not be healthy!
