“Another category of devices called ozone generators purposefully emit ozone. This type of product has received the most attention in the media for the potential adverse health effects on some people. Because of these concerns, legislation has been introduced in California which, if enacted, would ban the sale of ozone generators in the state. See the resource guide below for the link to the recommendation to ban ozone generators in California and the EPA’s fact sheet on ozone generators.

AHAM does not object to legislation aimed at ozone generators, but strongly believes any regulation must distinguish these products from the many other useful, harmless products.”
