In the atmosphere, this huge amount of energy comes from the sun. We also don’t have a way to transport the ozone to the right places in the atmosphere. Since we can’t make more ozone, the solution is to slow the flow down the drain back to its normal rate.

Ozone (O3) is created when diatomic oxygen (O2) is exposed to an electrical field or ultraviolet (UV) light. Exposure to these high levels of energy causes a portion of the diatomic oxygen molecules to split into individual oxygen atoms. These free oxygen atoms combine with diatomic oxygen molecules to form ozone.

Ozone is produced in laboratory in a number of ways (Jen-Shih Chang, 1991; Kitayama and Kuzumoto, 1997; Yagi and Tanaka, 1979; Dekowski et al., 2004) such as, by using UV irradiation, by high frequency (hf) corona discharge, by high voltage (HV) corona discharge, etc.

Ozone even works for the hardest odor removal of all: pet urine odor removal (Note: If urine has soaked deeply into the carpet padding, hardwood floors, and/or concrete, professional remediation may be required. Ozone is a good pet odor remover and will remove most pet odors, but cannot penetrate some materials).

OZONE GENERATION. This is one of the most popular and familiar processes for removing airborne smoke odor molecules, including hard-to-neutralize protein smoke. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that neutralizes odorous molecules by releasing additional oxygen into the air.

Cigarette smoke can be a difficult pollutant to remove because there are different components to the smoke. The OdorFree ozone generator is a cigarette odor eliminator. The OdorFree is extremely effective on smoke because the ozone (O3) attacks odors at their source.

Ozone generators are being promoted as an effective method to clean indoor air pollution and odours. However ozone is associated with adverse health effects. Available scientific evidence shows that ozone concentrations that are safe to breathe are unlikely to be effective in controlling indoor air pollution.
