Default Do ozone generators really kill mold spores?

Do they need to be particular size/intensity to work? Also is
there
some kind of test kit that you can buy to test for mold?

Thanks!


I have one I purchased from a Canadian manufacturer. It produces
5 GRAMS per hour and is a commercial-type unit. Unlike some folk,
I really like it, but use it sparingly. For instance, in a past
home, I had it controlled with a timer to come on 3 days or so
before we planned to return from a trip. I had it run for 24
hours and then let the ozone degrade for the 2 days before we
walked in the door. If there was any odor at that point, opening
windows for a few minutes took care of it, and the house would
then have a fresh scent. I never noticed any degraded items in
the house and certainly never breathed the ozonated air inside the
house when the unit had been run.

The units are used frequently here in Las Vegas at casinos and
restaurants to clean up the air from smokers. I've also seen them
used for brief periods in hotel rooms or aboard ships where
someone has sneaked a cigarette in the room or cabin, or following
carpet cleaning, with its musty smell.
