Honeywell Air Purifiers Offers Complete Line of Physician-Recommended True HEPA Air Purifiers, Preferred Technology Outlined by California Air Resources Board

SOUTHBOROUGH, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 6, 2009 -- The California Air Resources Board (ARB) recently recommended that consumers interested in purchasing air purifiers or air cleaners this holiday season avoid devices that intentionally generate ozone. According to ARB's press release (http://www.arb.ca.gov/newsrel/nr120108.htm), "Ozone, a well-known component of smog, has been extensively studied and the harmful effects well documented."

ARB recommends consumers should look instead for air purifier models that use HEPA filters or electrostatic precipitators that do not emit high amounts of ozone. Honeywell Air Purifiers offer a complete line of effective and affordable true HEPA air purifiers. In fact, more physicians recommend Honeywell air purifiers to their patients than any other brand.

Guidance for selecting air cleaners, including ratings in Consumer Reports articles and ARB's fact sheet titled "Air Cleaning Devices for the Home: Frequently Asked Questions," are accessible at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/ozone.htm.
