   Hi Lance,

   I'm giving your question a bump. I hunted but didn't see anyone on GBA or FHB talking about this product. Now you have me curious too. I hope someone who knows something about it will weigh in . . .

   Not my expertise, but this peer-reviewed article says that OH radicals can react with pollutants and make them more toxic, not less, at least in some cases. I would avoid using something like this without doing more research about what the benefits and hazards might be.

   See the link, pg 2 for info indicating OH's as byproduct:

   I’m generally leery of air “purifiers” and it looks like this gadget falls into that same category. Thanks for your input everyone!
