It took 4.5 years.

Presenting a robust, consensus test standard to examine if portable air cleaners produce chemical byproducts (ozone, formaldehyde, UFP):

Some Air Cleaners Release Harmful By-Products. Now We Have a Way to Measure Them.

Many types of air cleaners can generate small amounts of air pollution. Until now, there was no standard way to measure these negative by-products
