I have been cautioned about using ionizing air purifiers around those with respiratory conditions (Asthma, Allergies, Bronco-pulmonary Displysia, etc...) since the ionizing process produces Ozone.
They do work at eliminating odors and cleaning air, but the ozone by-product of the ionization process is potentially harmful. The warnings are from various neonatologists and Respiratory Therapists. Plus I have read things to this effect when researching air purifiers. The ozone produced is likely not very potent at such minute levels, but in my case it's much easier to substitute then to risk it.
I've got me a little miracle with respiratory problems and I am by passing the ionizer type purifiers and going for a straight hepa air mover. Also adding high quality air filters to my HVAC system at home.
