My fiance’s parents have an air purifier in their home that puts ozone in to the air. They leave it running in their home about 85% of the time… I heard somewhere that this is dangerous for your health. Is this true? Does anyone have any more information about this? Thanks!
My dad smokes in the house and so does our neighbors. Because I live in a country with a temperate climate, our only source of ventilation is our window and doors, which does not work very well sometimes. I’m worried for the health of my mother as well as siblings and am looking to get an air purifier that will help trap the particles and carcinogens found in second hand smoke. I’ve heard that some kind work better than others, but that there might be side effects and all. So can anyone help me decide what kind is best? I’ve tried to get my dad to stop smoking or to smoke outside but it’s a hard habit to break.
He was mad at the beginning when I got the cat because he said he felt left out, and 2nd best because he did not get to be included in picking out the pet but we were broke up at the time. 1 month later he says my kitten makes him very sick, and he has developed bronchitis from his allergies. My daughter and I both have allergies and suffer from asthma, we are o.k. I dust, vacuum daily, and put the cat in another room before he comes in, purchased a 2nd hepa air purifier, use allergen reducer carpet powder, febreze allergen reducer spray, and wash the cat every day. I even offered to buy him Claritin. The cat doesnt shed much or jump on furniture either He told me to get rid of it or hell have to stay away because of his health, my daughter and I love the new kitten so I refuse to give it away am I wrong?
We have someone in our house that smokes constantly. The air is always thick with it and she will not go outside or respect us (who do not smoke) in any way by cutting back or going outside. Actually if she did go outside she may never come in except to maybe go to the bathroom or sleep. That’s how much she smokes.
She has no intentions of quitting and has been quite vocal that she "will not quit simply because you want me to!" <== her words almost exactly.
So we’ve given in and decided that the best thing for our health is to try to buy an expensive air purifier/filter. But which one will help the best and take in and filter as much smoke as she puts out?
Edit details:
Home is a single floor home with an open-floor design. No matter where you go the smoke permates throughout…eventually.
Edit 2: It’s not so much that she doesn’t know. She honestly just doesn’t CARE.
after i was sick in the middle of the swine flu outbreak, i got fired from work. what if i have a doctor’s note saying that I got the flu symptoms and fever and dizziness and not suitable to go to work (contagious too), versus if I don’t have the note? (can the boss legally fire me if I have the note or if I don’t have the note?)
what if i have dated receipts and credit card statement proving i went to get several HEPA air purifiers at a nearby store during I was sick? Doesn’t that prove I have problem with my health?

Today I even offered to buy him Claritin and buy a cage to go outside to put the kitten in when he comes over he said no b/c he didn’t want to put his health at risk and he broke up with me. What should I do?
