Why don't they build a giant ozone generator and use it to stop global

Somebody already did that--it's called "The Sun".

Which is why I suggested doing it while they were gone. Q.E.D.

An ozone generator is not recommended for residences or buildings with
people living in them as ozone levels above EPA health limits can be
produced.

My wife and I recently fixed up a house to rent that was previously
owned by a heavy smoker. The entire house _reeked_ of old tobacco
when we bought it. We removed all the wall-to-wall carpet, we
screbbed all walls and ceilings with bio-degradable TSP substitute,
primed (with Kilz) and painted (two coats) all walls, ceiling and
trim. The oak hardwood floors were thoroughly scrubbed. We also had
professionals come in a clean the HVAC ducts, replaced the standard
air filter and are now cleaning the broken electrostatic air cleaner
in the HVAC.

However, our new tenants say there's still a stink of tobacco smoke,
and they're concerned enough for their 1-1/2 year old son's asthma
that
they're saying they'll have to move out if we can't get rid of the
smell.

We can't go back and re-prime the walls and repaint with something
like
B-I-N (which I discovered doing some research in the newsgroup). What
other _reliable_ options do I have for abating the old smokey stench
the tenants say is in the house?


Fixing the electrostatic air cleaner migfht help a lot.
They use ozone to remove smoke smell after fires, from what I've read.
If this would help, you could rent an ozone generator and use it in
the house when they go on vacation. There are probably a lot of smoke
pollutants left in the ducts and other inaccessable locations.
