It can t hurt. Ozone , nature s deodorizer and sterilizer. Ozone or O 3 is an oxygen molecule with a loosely held third atom that has a strong tendency to break away and attach itself to other substances. This action changes the O 3 back to O 2 and adds a new atom to the host or odor-causing substance, thereby oxidizing it, leaving no chemical residue. This can be the perfect scenario for odor destruction.
Ozone is produced by lightning, which is why the air smells so fresh and clean after a thunderstorm.
The ozone works to oxidize all the air pollutants. Ozone also occurs naturally from solar-powered chemical reactions involving emissions from trees and plants, more commonly known as byproducts of photosynthesis. Many scientists believe that fresh mountain air and forest haze come from this naturally produced ozone. Ozone-generating equipment that produces artificial ozone has allowed it to be used in many industrial applications. These range from water, wastewater and air pollution clean up and sterilization, to food processing and retardation.
