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!

Google up Negative Health effects of Ozone and you will find alot of
studies that show you dont want to be around added ozone. Several gov
bodys have Ozone exposure limits that are specific in amount and time
of exposure. Most simply it oxidises your lungs and the effects can
easily be noticed by people with lung issues. For a vacant place its
ok but not for where you will live and breath it. Laundry bleach kills
mold, but you have to stop the leaks and conditions that are allowing
it to grow in the first place. It seems like you have mold, but you
are taking no action to correct the defects that are making mold a
problem. Even with a ozone generator, it may kill it now, but it will
come right back until you fix the problems

This is pretty much my understanding of it as well. *Mold abatement isn't
accomplished by plugging in an appliance.

There is also the degradation of certain items from the oxidative ozone
molecule, which can release a plethora of toxic compounds into your living
space, and cause odors.

Thanks for the responses so far. *This is the situation. *Our ductwork
and central unit got flooded. *We are going to replace everything.
However, we were told by one duct cleaning company that he saw mold.
So we of course got a little freaked out. *Like I said we have since
decided to replace everything, but I am wondering how we can tell if
there is mold in the air and if so how can you get rid of it?- Hide quoted text -

The whole world and the air everywhere is full of spores and
bacteria. *Why get your knickers in a twist? Mould in your ductwork
can be killed by fumigation. However when the job is done, it will
simply re- establsh it'self unless the cause is rectified. This may
involve preventing condensation by insulating the ductwork or changing
temperatures or airflows. *Our biological defences have evolved over
millions of years to defendus agianst all these things or we would all
be dead by now.- Hide quoted text -

There are some molds that make you extremely sick, and many poorly
designed and maintained houses have it, Look up Stachybotrys, dubbed
Killer Mold because of a few infant deaths. There are many cases of
people getting so sick people must move out until its fixed. Well
known cases are of synthetic stucco that does not breath and any
eventual cracks dont allow water to dry out. Once leaks are fixed,
mold drys and dies, yes its everywhere but many cant afford to fix
their houses properly or just have no idea on what to do, but 03
generators to me, are the wrong route.
