Don't run it for a long time. Ozone will eat up most plastics. Vinyl will
turn brittle rather quickly.

After a month of driving with the vents wide open in my new used car, I
decided that
I had to do something about the sickly smell of pine scent. (The stink was
clearly
not going to just, go away on it's own.)

OK . . . . So,,, I already had a ozonator operating on my swimming pool.
So I
disconnected it from the pool and jury rigged a 6-9 volt CPU fan over the
air inlet
hole and drove it with one of the many power adapters that had kicking
around.
Connected both the fan and the ozonator. (Appears to simply be a
rectangular air
tight
box with a blue UV?? bulb inside and a half inch air inlet hole on one end
and an air

outlet hole on either end.) I ran an extension cord out to the car and
let the
ozonator run for about 20 hours.

At noon the next day I opened all the windows and aired the car out really
well.

When I got in and took her for a test run, I couldn't believe my nose.
That sickly
sweet heavy pine scent was gone and nothing else was left behind. Just a
totally
neutral odor,,, NOTHING! The smell of death was gone!

Now the metal working related question! If I let this run in the
background in my
shop to get rid of the smell from rancid oil etc. would it build to unsafe
concentrations of ozone. It's a fairly large room (24 x 24)

Thanks
