Yes, do not use your electric A/C brush type drill in the room that you have sealed off with plastic and duct tape during the terrorist alert. The ozone alone will probably kill you, if you don't suffocate...

Check the specifications, and I am sure you will find that the Honeywell's ozone output is WELL WITHIN the OSHA recommendations for ozone exposure. It is not an 'ozone generator', but rather an air filter/purifier that has ozone production as a byproduct. This is a far cry from a device designed to produce ozone. Ask yourself this... Do you HONESTLY think, in this modern day society FILLED with weasel lawyers (no offense intended to weasels), that a multi-billion dollar corporation such as Honeywell would sell a product that could easily kill people, without warnings placed all over the unit?? I feel quite confident that a common hand drill (A/C, brush type) produces more ozone in a couple of minutes than the Honeywell could in 24 hours. Ask your carpenter if he has changed over to battery type drills, for fear of killing too many people with his trusty old A/C powered Milwaukee. Then tell him to quit terrifying people with his urban legends. (Cripes, watch this turn INTO an urban legend..... A/C powered hand drills will kill you from the ozone they produce.... bound to be the next internet propegated urban legend) -- Best regards, Solar
