^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't think so. Ozone is O3, which is unstable. It breaks down into O2
and a free oxygen ion, which combines with the smelly stuff, or with another
oxygen ion, to form O2. Ozone has a characteristic odor, which you can
sometimes smell around sparking electric motors and such. If you start to
notice that odor in your shop, turn off the ozonator and wait a while.
