Electrostatic precipitators are early 20th century inventions.They continue to produce ozone,or trioxygen, which is a triatomic molecule, consisting of three oxygen atoms, a known lung irritant. In addition, they collect a carcinogenic substance called amorphous silicone dioxide on the metal surfaces. Electrical currents passing through the unit can cause this cancer causing agent to be released in tiny explosions from the surface. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation strongly recommends turning off and replacing this ancient technology that is difficult to clean effectively and is also costly to maintain.
