| ~ | What would be your main reason for buying a cell phone with an ozone detector? (Please be as detailed as possible) |

| 3 | If it was a free feature on it. |
| 4 | I'm really only worried about ozone if i was going for a run, so i would use it to check before I went running. Otherwise, i'm not too worried about ozone. |
| 5 | Because it is a cool tool. I could play with it. I wouldn't base my activiities around it though. |
| 6 | It would be useful when I'm considering whether to do an outdoor activity or not. If I notice that the ozone level is high, then I might consider waiting for a day with a lower ozone level. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 | |
| 10 | |
| 11 | |
| 12 | |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Because tropospheric ozone is a deadly killer and i would want to know if it was around me
|
| 15 | I can't really think of a good reason. I check the newspaper on hot days to look at the air quality. That's probably good enough for me. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | i would probably not but a phone with an ozone detector, but if i did it would be so i knew what the ozone level was so i would know if it was safe to go outside and do physical activity. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | it comes with the phone. |
| 20 | If I were older; had children; and or lived in a large city. |
| 21 | Knowledge of which areas I visit are most hazardous to my respiratory health. |
| 22 | It would be spiffy. |
| 23 | depends on whether i'd have to pay for the sensor monthly with my bill or if it comes included with the one time fee of buying the phone. I think i'd have to see research papers on how effective the ozone sensor is at detecting and helping prevent health effects of ozone. |
| 24 | no real reasons. |
| 25 | knowing when to stay inside to avoid higher pollution levels; also, to show off |
| 26 | Honestly, I don't see the point...what could I do if it sensed high ozone levels, leave the broad general area that would be effected? While that would clearly be ideal, as I understand the risk, it would hardly ever be feasible, and I don't think I would ever buy a phone based solely on its ozone detecting feature. |
| 27 | I figure just for the fun of it...just another gadget for my phone. |
| 28 | Just a fun fact to know |
| 29 | because scott wants to save the children, so i should help him =D (ooo..i took this survey now u owe me one)(acutally i was just procrastinating if u couldn't tell) |
| 30 | Either an irrational need for more stuff, particularly engendered by the presence of a good salesman, or sheer stupidity, especially paired with paranoia. |
| 31 | None. There is no correlation between ozone levels and cell phones. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | It doesn't make sense to have an ozone detector because it is useless. Ok, for instance, say you the detector and it detected something. What can you do? NOTHING! So it is pointless! |
| 34 | |
| 35 | |
| 36 | I likely wouldn't! I live in a fairly rural area and don't see any need for one. However, if I lived in a big city, i might change my mind. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | An ozone detetector sounds really cool! I'm not really sure what it does exactly but I feel like it would be fun just to tell my friends I had an ozone detector in my phone. |
| 39 | If I had a child with asthma or lung problems then I might buy one. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | |
| 42 | i like my lungs the way they are. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | |
| 45 | |
| 46 | To protect against the aformentioned harms of urban smog. |
| 47 | Concerns for the health and overall well-being for my family, friends, and myself and also concerns for healthy environment. |
| 48 | Because it already came with the ozone detector-- I wouldn't buy the phone because it had one, but I wouldn't be averse to buying a phone with other features I wanted if it also happened to include an ozone detector. |
| 49 | if someone proved to me that it was actually detectable and realistically detrimental to my health, i might buy one. But what is the point of a sensor if it just tells you that the ozone is around and it cant prevent the detrimental effects? |
| 50 | I would only buy a cell phone with an ozone detector if it was only slightly more expensive than a normal phone. If it was more than $5 more expensive, it would be less inclined to buy the phone because it doesn't really matter to me whether or not my phone can detect ozone. |
| 51 | it seems that many weather services are now providing alerts for ozone action days, and i'd like to be able to check it on the go. |
| 52 | I ask only one question as a reponse. Why is a cell phone a choice as a vector for an ozone dectector? |
| 53 | to appear environmentally conscious |
| 54 | I have no idea what exactly it would tell you so I dont know |
| 55 | if i had asthma or other respiratory diseases |
| 56 | health reasons |
| 57 | to know how dangerous the areas I live are in terms of ozone levels |
| 58 | |
| 59 | wouldn't |
| 60 | |
| 61 | environmental wise, safety personally.
or personal safety. especially while carrying the cp. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | |
| 64 | To help protect me against the harmful effects
|
| 65 | Pure curiousity, gadgets to show off |
| 66 | It would be a logical device to have as one usually carries it with most of the time. |
| 67 | To know when the air outside is too bad to breathe, so I can write a letter to my Senator about loosening the environmental rules this year! |
| 68 | I wouldn't buy a cell phone specifically for an ozone detector. For me, a detector would be one of those "cool" extra features for which I would be willing to pay at most a small amount of additional money. My primary interest would be in the functionality of the cell phone as a phone. |
| 69 | I don't know |
| 70 | To prevent exposure that would increase coughing. I could close off the outside air in the car when doing driving so that I could have protection when spending that 2-3 hours per day in the car. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | to be healthier |
| 73 | Knowing how much ozone was in the air would not affect where I went or lived. I might say "gee, there's a lot of ozone around here" and laugh, but I'm not concerned about it. There's no way people are going to move out of smoggy cities unless their skin is burning off or something. If I did get a cell phone, I really wouldn't care if it had a detector or not. |
| 74 | UV exposure... skin cancer |
| 75 | Just..a neat feature, I guess. Probably not going to buy a cell phone at all, though. |
| 76 | As a protection for health reasons. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | I'm a runner and like to know the air quality. |
| 79 | so I would know when it was unsafe to be exercising outside. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Air quality is not an issue in the rural area where I live. |
| 82 | If it was part of a package |
| 83 | If someone I cared about and were around often already had a pre-existing respiratory problem that could be significantly worsened by the presence of a high ozone level. |
| 84 | Perhaps if I lived or worked in a city environment, or near a heavily traveled freeway or an airport, I would be interested. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | |
| 87 | To avoid any more of my brain cells from being zapped. |
| 88 | To increase public awareness on enviromental issues we live with each day. |
| 89 | curiosity. I think I can tell when the air is bad. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | If it was already installed, fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with it. |
| 92 | It's seems like a good idea to know just what the ozone levels become when using a cell phone. |
| 93 | I would not buy it if it cost anything extra or interfered with operation or efficiency. |
| 94 | I probably would not buy it unless I lived in a smoggy area. Even then, I may not truly trust the results of such a device, and reason that since I cannot change the environment much (alone), the information I could get from the device would not help me much. In other words, I may deem it unuseful information for me on a personal level. I appreciate learning the smog levels from the news, however, when visiting places known to have a lot of it. Not sure this answered your question too well, but thought the comments might help. |
| 95 | For my health |
| 96 | |
| 97 | Because it exists. And I mean that. I can't think of any really good reason to have one, but if it was only a little more expensive, I might be convinced to get it. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | i probably would not buy it... i feel like you would know that if you were in an area with lots of urban smog without your cell phone telling you |
| 100 | ?? |
| 101 | Because I like extras on the phone that don't cost much |
| 102 | if i were to become aware that ozone is really dangerous and high in my area |
| 103 | there is absolute no reason why ozone sensors should be integrated in cell phones. i would never consider buying one. i am immune to ozone levels. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | |
| 106 | |
| 107 | I sounds like a good feature. |
| 108 | |
| 109 | |
| 110 | |
| 111 | to know how to better protect my self and my family from over exposure of UV radiation any where in the world. |
