Ozone, a naturally occurring molecule serves as a means to eliminate unpleasant odors and airborne pathogens from the air. Its application in outlet ducting effectively mixes and eradicates odors while its usage in grow rooms helps prevent fungus issues and bud rot.
Many individuals seeking to renovate their homes purchase these units to eliminate smells, mold and fungus. Additionally, car detailers have found value in using them to eliminate stubborn odors from cars and carpets. However, caution must be exercised when ozone is being produced as it has a distinct electrical like smell and excessive exposure can harm humans, pets and plants.
It is crucial to evacuate the area and ventilate until the ozone has dissipated. Over time, ozone naturally converts back to oxygen, but in extreme cases, high levels of ozone can damage rubber and plastic materials. This unit is not intended for continuous 24/7 use and should be used responsibly. Smaller regular doses of ozone usually yield better results than high concentrations.
Understanding ozone is relatively straightforward: O2 gas is converted to O3 gas through UV light. O3 eventually breaks down into O2 and a single oxygen negative ion, which readily bonds with various substances. An example of this oxidization process is iron turning into rust. While iron is strong, rust lacks inherent strength, as it transforms into FeO. This free oxygen is effective at killing mold, fungal infections, and eliminating odors, which is why ozone is utilized in many hospital air conditioning systems. Strongly smelling ozone indicates an excessive amount present, as it is not being fully utilized. Therefore, smaller doses that are barely detectable by scent are often more effective and safer for everyone.
