Don't get a piddly-assed one - get one that produces several thousand millgrams of Ozone per hour (3,000 is a respectable number). Ozone will kill smells, bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, pets, humans, and toads given sufficient concentration. A one-hour treatment of an average-sized room should be sufficient. "Are Ozone Generators Effective in Controlling Indoor Air Pollution? Available scientific evidence shows that at concentrations that do not exceed public health standards, ozone has little potential to remove indoor air contaminants." http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html nb That's why you leave the home during treatment with an ozone generator that produces massive, completely unhealthy amounts of ozone, then air it out before resuming occupancy. On this score, the Texan is not pulling your leg. You need not "air out" the area. Ozone decomposes into plain oxygen in about an hour. That quality makes it easier to decontaminate areas that are difficult to ventilate: root cellars, locker rooms, bottomless pits, etc. |
