Will, hopefully, be able to move in the coming weeks and am trying to figure how best to ensure not to transfer mycotoxins into whatever environment i move to. Has anyone used ozone generators and just had them sit on the mold exposed possessions you don’t plan on throwing away like electronics? Was considering purchasing a very small storage unit and placing all of these mold exposed items I plan to keep inside of the unit and blasting it with ozone to kill all of the mycotoxins on it. Will this work? Edit: The only things I plan on keeping are electronics, cable cords, some clothes, glass jars, kitchen appliances, air purifier, lamps (without lamp shade), maybe sneakers. For the clothes I was planning on washing in a mold solution then ozoning as well. submitted by /u/goldenyellow333 to r/ToxicMoldExposure [link] [comments]

Hey all, I've been lucky enough to purchase a home in saint john, I'll be moving in soon, but the current owner smokes in the house. I realize this will mean switching out drywall where needed and what not, but was wondering if anyone in the community has a proper ozone generator I could borrow for a couple days (also happy to rent it off you), to try and help with the smell? submitted by /u/No_Honeydew_9699 to r/SaintJohnNB [link] [comments]

Okay so my mom called someone to MY ROOM to ozone it, because the built in wardrobe had mold at the north side. The humidity was 99% percent in there and like 15 degrees. And yes, there was mold. So I searched beforehand that it's highly destructive to a personal/gaming room, but we just had a big argument and she STILL DID IT. I came home, I couldn't even breathe in there, started coughing getting dizzy. This was 3 hours after that. And after three days I finally went back in. And now, we just found out that the rubber on my noise blocking door degraded, doesn't block anything. Also some of my clothes started having this really bad smell to it even after washing. And now she's talking about some "we might have to do it again" EVEN TOUGH SHE FUCKING PROMISED ME WE WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN. So will I realise later that more things have a problem, or should I just accept my fate? Sorry for my language, I'm not native. submitted by /u/MILITARYx6593 to r/chemistry [link] [comments]

I’m moving into a post-war house in Australia, built about seventy years ago. Although it’s been renovated to a large extent, the all too familiar old-house smell remains. I presume a mould check was done during renovation, but until I can confirm this, I’d like to sort this out. Given the original doors and limited renovation on the exterior, I presume it hasn’t been gutted, so that could be the source of the lingering aroma. I hear ozone generators are great at dealing with this, but to what extent? Should I be aware of anything, and what price range should I be looking at for a good one? It’s a rental and has had about three rounds of tenants pass through, so there is also some wear and tear, but that is the least of my concerns. submitted by /u/phatbootyrudy to r/HomeImprovement [link] [comments]

I have a in-ground gunite pool about 10k gallons currently utilizing a uv ozone generator w/ inline chlorine supply. It also has another inline device which I not sure what it does. I don’t believe the uv generator is working as I don’t see the light on at the viewpoint. Before investing in replacing the uv lights wondering if I am better off changing over to a saltwater generator. submitted by /u/PaPaWeez to r/pools [link] [comments]

I have a pile of stuff in storage, like books, suitcases, bags etc. They smell pretty musty, and I need to figure out how to get rid of the smell. I see a lot of people discussing how to use one in a room, or an item or two in a plastic tub, but I have too much stuff for that. Will having them laid out in a room with an Ozone machine work? Has anyone done this? I'm aware of the dangers and that Ozone will break down some materials. I just can't seem to find info on what materials, at what levels. I've read some horror stories on here, but they all seem to be when people left the machine running waaaaay longer than you're meant to. I just want to know if anyone has done this and if it'd work, because I'm not seeing any info on people having done it, or warning against it, for a room full of objects specifically. submitted by /u/Tikithing to r/CleaningTips [link] [comments]

How do you all feel about ozone generators use in cars? I recently booked an appt with a detailer to help me get rid of my new car smell. I told them I am pregnant and requested nontoxic/unfragranced cleaning solutions. They agreed and said they could steam the seats which might help, and I agreed to that. When I picked up my car, they told me their regular cleaning routine couldn’t fix the smell so they used their ozone generator in my car for 15 minutes. On the way home, this started to really freak me out. First of all, I dont know how much they aired the car out before I drove it home. I didn’t smell anything weird but I am extremely stressed that this could have hurt my baby. Second, I went down a VERY deep google rabbit hole and found all of this info about how ozone in interior environments can create ultrafine particles, reacts with and degrades all the plastic within the car etc. The EPA website said that ozone reacting with plastics and carpet can create unpredictable and potentially more toxic byproducts. I was already baseline worried about flame retardants, phthalates, which is part of why I wanted to get the car professionally cleaned. Now I am convinced that my car is covered in these byproducts and is going to permanently leach more chemicals because all of the surfaces have been degraded by the ozone. (I have OCD and struggle a lot with contamination in particular) My husband said I need to just forget about it and move on. He is only seeing 1% of how much I am spiraling about this because I am hiding my stress around it. I put a lot of effort into picking a car that would calm my feelings around how toxic cars are generally. But now those feelings of safety are gone and I feel so nervous going in the car and especially taking my child in there. There’s so much conflicting information online about ozone does so I dont know how to regulate my thoughts on this. As typical with OCD I have a feeling I am overreacting but its hard for me to tell. submitted by /u/penguin-tour to r/moderatelygranolamoms [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! I’m not sure this is entirely relevant to this subreddit, but you guys are super knowledgable so I thought I’d try my luck! Been looking into ozone generators for my house, and I am confused with the information I have read. People say that ozone generators should be used in a completely sealed room and all living beings should be kept far away until the room has been ventilated sufficiently. This sounds like good advice, however I work in a hotel where ozone generators are often used to deodorise the rooms between guests. We put the ozone generator in, set the timer and shut the room, with a sign on the door so nobody enters. People are able to safely rest and work in the other rooms. Why can these be used in just one room with a shut door, but in the home it is suggested to completely leave? Is it just an extra safety step (which i would follow anyways) or is my hotel unsafe with its usage? Thank you. submitted by /u/cloudofbastard to r/CleaningTips [link] [comments]

A couple days ago I made a post where I was complaining about my hotel, since they've been running a very powerful ozone generator next to people's bedrooms. After talking with 4 different hotel people, nobody ever bothered to do a 5-minute research on the subject. Obviously they didn't care about it at all, and they kept running the machine undisturbed. I called OHSA (Occupational health and safety authority) for Malta. The lady I spoke to had a vague understanding of the subject, since she asked me what Ozone was. After talking with her supervisor though, they opened a case and gave me a case number. They said they'd send someone to assess the situation. I was hopeful but nobody ever showed up (at least for now). Today I sent a couple emails to the enforcement unit of the MTA (Malta Tourism Authority) after talking with their info line. I also sent the same inquiry to the civil protection. My last attempt was calling the poison center, but they just gave me advice on my medical situation (which is, at the moment, relatively fine beside some sore throat). They tried to talk to the management but they couldn't talk with anyone. My wife is doing well and has no symptoms whatsoever. We did all we could to minimize any exposure, we spend less than 5 seconds in the hallway holding our breath just to get into the room, and we have our windows open 24/7. Since the cleaning staff doesn't seem to be highly affected, I assume the machine is not turned to the highest setting and I am probably more sensitive. This doesn't excuse their reckless behavior, as they've got NO clue and they don't even know what it is they're turning on. I also made sure to sabotage their operation by turning it off every time I see it on. Our vacation has almost come to an end: we have two nights left, one of which (tomorrow) we'll spend on a different room/floor. The hotel has agreed to change our room after many complaints. I am still not happy with the outcome but I'm trying to keep us safe. (And that's why I haven't publicly revealed the name of the place yet, which I'll do as soon as we're out of here) When this trip is over, I'll see if I can somehow bring them to court over this life threatening situation. For now, survival is the key! Thanks for all of your support and for the helpful comments. My wife and I really appreciated everyone's concern and I hope we can go back to our house safe and sound. submitted by /u/mastarius992 to r/extremelyinfuriating [link] [comments]

This thing has been running for hours. This is a health hazard, especially in a hallway with no windows and no ventilation, next to people's bedrooms. I told the manager and they don't seem to give a flying f**k. Turned it off myself, if i see it on again I'll throw it down the balcony submitted by /u/mastarius992 to r/extremelyinfuriating [link] [comments]

So my friend and I checked into a hotel room in Singapore really late the other night, and there were three small machines running. It was after midnight and we were exhausted and just assumed they were small portable air conditioners because of the heat and humidity. We both slept terribly because the air was so chemically and woke up with insanely sore throats, tight chests, coughing loads etc. Turns out they were portable ozone generators, which I’ve never heard of but when we googled it says they should definitely never be used in occupied rooms because of the terrible health risks. We complained to the front desk and they were pretty mortified they’d been left in the room, but refused to comp that first night’s stay (despite the fact we slept terribly and then were sick the whole next day.) Unsure if we have any recourse to follow up on this more? submitted by /u/RoutineZucchini7687 to r/hotels [link] [comments]

We just bought a new house built in 1986. I can smell the house on my clothes when I leave it and it drives me crazy. I’ve been asking all my family and friends to describe the smell to me when they visit and “stale” and “grandma/grandpas house” are common descriptors. They say it doesn’t smell bad but I just want it to smell like NOTHING! 😅 or at least fresh! The carpet was replaced and I have deep cleaned all the hard flooring. It has never been occupied by folks older than their early 60s as far as I am aware so “nonenal” doesn’t seem likely. Two of the rooms were occupied by teenage boys and you can smell that clearly. Washing the walls and carpet with enzyme cleaner hasn’t don’t anything in those so we are borrowing an ozone machine for those next week. Considering using it on the whole house. Can’t open windows to air out because it is incredibly hot and extremely humid here. AC units weren’t properly tuned so we have just fixed a humidity issue (55-65% humidity indoors). I imagine that didn’t help the stale smell. Considering air duct cleaning. What worked for you? Please give tips so I can’t stop going crazy and enjoy my new house! Edit 8/24/25: I am leaning away from using the ozone generator inside, at least for anything longer than 15-30 minutes in the smellier rooms. I am trying odoban on the walls right now. Update 8/25/25: Odoban seems to have helped (washed the walls, ceilings, spritzed carpets). I am airing out the whole house now. AquaGuard is coming tomorrow to check for moisture in our slab foundation before we do duct cleaning per the advice of our HVAC tech. HVAC comes next week to do the final fixes that should resolve not removing humidity accurately. Will update. Update 9/15/25: It’s been a few weeks, I’ve ozoned one room and it has helped significantly. The ozone generator we are borrowing is old and low output so it’s taken several runs over many days since we can’t fully vacate. We are going to get the duct cleaning hopefully next week as that seems to be a huge culprit in an otherwise semi-newly renovated space. AquaGuard found no foundation water intrusion so that is ruled out. We are getting a final quote on AC work tomorrow so hopefully that starts soon. Also found and fixed multiple small gas leaks today so that probably didn’t help. Lol. As time goes on the smell is getting better and better but I won’t be satisfied until I can leave the house and smell nothing but fresh on my clothes! I’ve pinpointed it as a stale dog smell. submitted by /u/ashlynnegrace to r/CleaningTips [link] [comments]

When Mirage is introduced, the first thing she says is, “he’s not alone, the fat guy’s still with him”, which means she’s referring to Lucius, not Bob. But when she sees Bob break down the wall, she realizes he’s Mr Incredible and confirms to switch targets. The first omnidroid Mr Incredible fights has a blue light, matching frozones colors, and takes him to a lava pit, which would be frozones biggest weakness as seen in the burning building. Not only that, but when Mr Incredible looks up his friends on the supercomputer, Elastigirl’s location is unknown, but Frozone’s location is known. If Mirage didn’t see Bob break down the wall, she wouldn’t have found out he was Mr incredible and Frozone would’ve been sent to the island and most likely get killed by the omnidroid instead. submitted by /u/Weary_Elderberry4742 to r/Pixar [link] [comments]

I was researching ways to remove odor, and ozone generators came up. I searched online and seen them for sale for cheap, and reviews from verified buyers are great! However, I asked AI if they are safe to use, and it told me no, it can damage lungs, mix with other household chemicals and release poisonous gas etc. It sounded really scary. What's the deal with these? submitted by /u/Stunning_Fox_9380 to r/NoStupidQuestions [link] [comments]

when I went to google trying to find any sort of research on what to do if you were exposed to ozone, most articles were about short term exposure.. I'm hoping some of yall might have some advice advice to share with us. I CANNOT BELIEVE a/c companies can sleep at night suggesting this to a family with a newborn...telling us it's going to help us and to keep it running 24/7 while we LIVE IN OUR HOME AND RAISE OUR CHILDREN. WTF IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD.

Hey guys! I have a few questions about ozone generators. What metrics of the machine I should watch for? What is the best saturation of the ozone? Should I leave the apartment or only the room while the generator is producing ozone? For 20-30m2 sized rooms how much time should the generator work and how much time should I air out the room? What about the plant? Should they handle a 30-60min ozone exposure once a week? I have a moldy smell. I also have a machine that takes out the moisture out of the air, but that smell of moisture isn’t going away. submitted by /u/Coffee-Bubbles to r/AirQuality [link] [comments]

I grew up constantly hearing about the hole in the Ozone layers in the news and from my teachers. But new generations won't because we are doing a great job fixing it. This is not recent news. I always use the Montreal Protocol as one of the most successful government interventions to curb environmental damage. But it's still something good to celebrate and be proud of as a species. https://preview.redd.it/nb16a0rtqjsd1.jpg?width=1712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79a047208e96da8d592944820aa0cbe870f5f2b6 Just read this beautiful 2024 article from Nature (emphasis added): The environmental impact of certain chemical compounds that erode Earth’s protective ozone layer has peaked and started to drop. The decline marks another success in the decades-long battle to save stratospheric ozone. The Montreal Protocol, an international agreement adopted in 1987, phased out ozone-depleting chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons. As a temporary fix, industries such as those supplying refrigeration equipment began using hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) instead. But HCFCs do still lead to ozone depletion, as well as global warming, so they, too, are being phased out. Luke Western at the University of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues studied atmospheric levels of HCFCs as measured by two global monitoring networks. The authors found that since 2021, the chemicals’ contribution of chlorine — which depletes ozone — to the atmosphere has been dropping. So has the contribution of HCFCs to global warming. If the trend continues, then the negative impacts of HCFCs will have peaked five years earlier than expected. That might mean that the ozone hole that appears above Antarctica each year could heal earlier than expected in the coming decades.

My studio has its air vents clean with bleach. To get rid of the bleach smell, I ran an air purifier, which actually turned out to be an ozone generator (Sonozaire 105A). I had run it on day 1 for 7 hours (1-9pm). Then I found out that it was a ozone generator, so I stopped it. I vented the room with the door and opposing window open and a household fan on each of them to create a cross breeze for 2 hours. Also kept HVAC running. And then locked the room and slept at friend's place. I had already been in the room with ozone machine running for 1 hour (total, in parts). My question: 1. I don't experience any immediate symptoms. Am i safe from long term health POV? 2. Any first aid I should do? 3. On day 2 (today), i went back and can still smell a "very fresh and clean" smell. Is this smell of ozone? Or the bleach/something else? 4. What steps can i take now to make my place safe to live and free from ozone and its side effects? As you can deduce, I am in a situation of emergency. Thank you for helping. submitted by /u/PancakeMeUp to r/maintenance [link] [comments]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7EAfUeSBSQ https://youtu.be/Jzfpyo-q-RM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=edBJ1LkvdQQ STOP THE FEARMONGERING. Chernobyl was built by the Soviets. It had a ton of flaws, from mixing fuel rods with control rods, to not having any security measures in place. The government's reaction was slow and concentrated on the image rather than damage control. Fukushima was managed by TEPCO who ignored warnings about the risk of flooding emergency generators in the basement. Per Terawatt hour, coal causes 24 deaths, oil 16, and natural gas 4. Wind causes 0.06 deaths, water causes 0.04. Nuclear power causes 0.04 deaths, including Chernobyl AND Fukushima. The sun causes 0.02 deaths. Radioactive waste is a pain in the ass to remove, but not impossible. They are being watched over, while products of fossil fuel combustion such as carbon monoxide, heavy metals like mercury, ozone and sulfur and nitrogen compounds are being released into the air we breathe, and on top of that, some of them are fueling a global climate crisis destroying crops, burning forests and homes, flooding cities and coastlines, causing heatwaves and hurricanes, displacing people and destabilizing human societies. Germany has shut down its nuclear power plants and now has to rely on gas, coal and lignite, the worst source of energy, turning entire areas into wastelands. The shutdown was proposed by the Greens in the late 90s and early 2000s in exchange for support for the elected party, and was planned for the 2020s. Then came Fukushima and Merkel accelerated it. the shutdown was moved to 2022, the year Russia invaded Ukraine. So Germany ended up funding the genocidal conquest of Ukraine. On top of that, that year there was a record heatwave which caused additional stress on the grid as people turn on ACs, TVs etc. and rivers dry up. Germany ended up buying French nuclear electricity actually. The worst energy source is coal, especially lignite. Lignite mining turns entire swaths of land into lunar wastelands and hard coal mining causes disease and accidents that kill miners. Coal burning has coated our cities, homes and lungs with soot, as well as carbon monoxide, ozone, heavy metals like mercury and sulfur and nitrogen dioxides. It has left behind mountains of toxic ash that is piled into mountains exposed to the wind polluting the air and poured into reservoirs that pollute water. Living within 1.6 kilometers of an ash mountain increases the risk of cancer by 160%, which means that every 10 meters of living closer to a mountain of ash, equals 1% more cancer risk. And, of course, it leaves massive CO2 emissions that fuel a global climate crisis destroying crops, burning forests and homes, flooding cities and coastlines, causing heat waves, hurricanes, displacing people and destabilizing human societies. Outdoor air pollution kills 8 million people per year, and nuclear could help save those lives, on top of a habitable planet with decent living standards. If we want to decarbonize energy, we need nuclear power as a backbone in case the sun, wind and water don't produce enough energy and to avoid the bottleneck effect. I guess some of this fear comes from The Simpsons and the fact that the main character, Homer Simpson is a safety inspector at a nuclear power plant and the plant is run by a heartless billionaire, Mr. Burns. Yes, people really think there is green smoke coming out of the cooling towers. In general, pop culture from that period has an anti-nuclear vibe, e.g. Radioactive waste in old animated series has a bright green glow as if it is radiating something dangerous and looks like it is funded by Big Oil and Big Gas. submitted by /u/BaseballSeveral1107 to r/GenZ [link] [comments]

So, buddy of mine runs an airbnb. He recently had guests from hell, who smoked cigarettes, weed, and (as best as we can figure) heroin in his house. He tried airing it out for a week, no dice. It was still overpowering. So he went with the nuclear option and ordered an 11,000mg/hr ozone generator on Amazon. I warned him to be very careful with these things. I was almost certain that anything pumping out that much ozone wouldn't be legal to sell to a civilian. Guess I was wrong. He ran it 8 hours, 2 days in a row. The cigarette smell is gone, but now we're left with a much worse problem: The air is literally unsafe to breathe. I was stopping by his house to unplug his ozone generator at night, and just being in there for 15 seconds, while holding my breath, I basically destroyed my lungs. I've been coughing up green shit, it's terrible. It stuck to my clothes, and there was no way to avoid breathing it. Anyway, we've had the windows open for a week, and while it's no longer as toxic as it used to be, you'll still get a headache if you spend longer than 90 seconds in there. These things should not be legal. The manufacturers are all basically psychopaths who lie and say that ozone is either not bad, or actively good. These devices have not been approved by any agency for use in inhabited indoor spaces. Do not buy them. Anyway, my questions are: Is the smell/pollutant lingering in the air still ozone, or is it the products of stuff (plastic, fibers, etc.) that reacted with ozone? I've read that tropospheric ozone has a fairly short half-life, so I'm not sure why it hasn't decomposed yet. Is it just a "long tail" effect because ozone's detection threshold is like 10ppb? Or did it actually oxidize/volatilize the plastic fibers in his mattresses? How the fuck do we get rid of it? I have a biochem degree. I've done organic synthesis. I can dig through the literature. I can google. I have found nothing on removing lingering ozone from a residential space. Just a bunch of sad stories on message boards about people who had to move into hotels. Luckily, nobody has to live here full time, but the property does generate income, and this is costing serious fucking money (in addition to the cost of blasting the heater with the windows open). Our plan going forward is: keep the house as warm as possible (supposedly this decreases the halflife of ozone), and keep moving air through it. I've also read that humidity can affect ozone half life, but I can't find a source saying whether it increases it or decreases it. I once had a meteorology professor who did a demo where he took a UV light, and some citrus peels, he let the UV blast into a terrarium to generate some ozone, and squeezed the citrus peel oil into it. It pretty rapidly resulted in a cloud of photochemical smog. Could we take advantage of this? I'm thinking maybe some sort of cirtrus oil cleaner might react with stray ozone, and then turn into that same sort of smoky particulate looking shit, and then we can suck that up with a bunch of HEPA filters. Maybe even heating a cooking oil up to its smoke point and letting that greasy aersol get ozonated into smog. Does anyone have any reason why this would be inadvisable? (If your argument is based on "indoor air pollution", then it probably doesn't apply. The air quality here is already at maximum shittiness. It literally makes you ill to breathe for any real length of time.) If anyone has proposals, or relevant literature, or anything useful, please get at me here. If you aren't able to offer any help, take this as a warning. You are immeasurably better off just breathing shitty heroin smoke. Jesus fucking Christ. EDIT: Thank you guys so much for all of the help, explanations, and ideas. Definitely feel free to keep them coming, so that when someone 5 years from now fucks up like we did, and starts panic-googling, this thread will pop up and they won't feel like the first person in history who ever had this problem. For the sake of any googlers from the future, I'm gonna summarize it all here: The problem: We left the ozone generator on for way too fucking long. 15 minutes to an hour should have been plenty. 2 hours max. The consensus: We are no longer battling unreacted ozone, but the VOCs it left behind after reacting with plastics and other organics. Estimates for ozone half-life vary pretty wildly (from 7 minutes to 20 days). 8 days of aggressive ventilation, and a few days of heating, should have been plenty of time to destroy the raw ozone. Plus, the smell is no longer the overwhelming, single note of ozone. It's a deeper smell of "new car" + pool water. The plan now is: Thorough cleaning of all surfaces, floors/counters/walls/ceilings/ceiling fans (I could use recommendations for cleaning tools to dig into HVAC vents, if anyone has any ideas about that) Mattresses in the sun/fresh air. Leave them for one afternoon, then flip them over and leave them for another after. Maintain fresh airflow. Strategically placed space heaters & central heat to volatilize the VOCs. Cross breeze (one fan at front door to suck in fresh air, one fan at back door to extract dirty air). Fragrance-free Febreze on any porous surfaces. HEPA filters out the wazoo, especially in any areas with stagnant air. (Once the fans are set up and running, I'm just gonna blow some vape smoke to see whether it moves or settles.) After that, we'll seal it back up for a day and then check to see how it smells after it's been sitting for awhile. This one is only necessary because it's an airbnb, and he needs to make sure it won't knock anyone on their ass when they first check in if it's been vacant for awhile. If it's still awful, we'll go from there, but I have high hopes. Thanks again! submitted by /u/JeromesDream to r/chemistry [link] [comments]
