a negative ion generator that generates a lot of ozone should not be run constantly.  
use it in a room that needs freshening, then turn it off after 20-30 minutes and wait a while before you enter and use the room.

a negative ion generator that generates a small amount of ozone can be run all day and night without harm.  

i do not use negative ion generators with fans.  it is the fan that puts out the EMF.  
fans, hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, etc - things with moving parts generate electric and magnetic fields.  

my negative ion generators do not measure on my EMF meters while those things that generate heat, sound and light, do.  my ozonator puts out a great deal of ozone and EMF, but that’s what it’s designed to do and i only run it to purify drinking water.   my negative ion generators do not.  

there are negative ion generators - and then there are negative ion generators.  
to me, they’re worth their weight in gold.  I am so grateful for them each time i look out the window at the chemtrails spreading out across the sky.  
i am grateful for them because the dog smells in its own space, but on the other side of the negative ion generator - on my side of the room, there is no doggie odor or dander.  
i am grateful for them because cooking odors do not linger.  i gave one of my roommates a tiny little negative ion generator.  it’s on top of the kitchen counter in his house - and the bacon, etc smells quickly dissipate thanks to the tiny little thing on top of the cabinet.  when he bought an ozonator, and began to ozonate his drinking water without a cover to prevent the ozone from escaping, i could smell ozone… but even then, the ozone odor is soon gone.  
i have been using negative ion generators for 35 years and i believe they have kept me healthy despite all the “challenges” of air quality in the modern world.  my first negative ion generator was used on a street near the ocean in San Francisco, next to a bus line.  the wall behind the table i kept it on was black from the soot of the gasoline engines, but the air was kept clean and clear in my apartment.

so i always ask those who say that a negative ion generator gives off EMF, ‘what kind of negative ion generators are you talking about?'  mine gives off zero EMF.  i always suspect it is one of the big monsters that houses fans.  i’ve had those kinds too and they do generate a great deal of EMF… but not simple, plain, pure negative ion generators.  but then… it’s hard to find companies that can resist gussying up their wares.  ;)
