Watch out for those god awful ION generators.  Someone once came up
with the great idea that Ozone is good for you.  It was a big favorite
of the quack medicine show people.  Ozone is not good for you, your
house plants, or anything made of rubber.  I did a research project
(back when I was still a biology student) on the effects of ozone on
plants.  It doesn't take that high of a concentration to make them sick.
It also turns out that a big tire wharehouse out in California was using
ozone generators and it was some time before they found out why all the
tires were rotting.
