Hello,

Be carefull with an ozone generator. To much ozone can cause health problems:

You need to know.
Ozone is like many other essentials in life. A little is good, a lot is not. Too much food can make you overweight, too much water can cause drowning, and taking too much of a life-saving medication can make you very ill. At high concentrations ozone can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath, and throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections. People vary widely in their susceptibility to ozone. Therefore, you should only run ozone machines on very low settings, in well ventilated spaces, if people and pets are present.
Here is a building scheme from bigclive:

Ozone can also degrade rubber in the vicinity of an ozone generator. Was a problem with cassette, VCR, and turntable belts. :( Not sure what things might be affected today.

Suburban ganga growers like them for the "odor" removal property but for indoor filter/purifier units, a hepa with or without germicidal UV units is better for people and property than ozone.

Riddle me this Googleman. What is the osha limits for exposure to ozone?

Little bit sure makes the outdoor smell better after a strong thunderstorm. :)
