Re: TC Ozone Mold Killer

Ionic Breeze now advertises they come with an ozone
destruct unit, (after Consumer Reports said the house
air was made worse by using these units). Ground level
ozone is a pollution byproduct, caused by the sun's UV
reacting with hydrocarbon combustion byproducts. Ozone
is very bad to breath. Since they added the ozone
destruct units, you shouldn't see any ozone emitted.

I live just outside Atlanta and our ground level ozone
concentration has gotten so high as to set off our
ozone facility alarms. I built several ozone
generating facilities, and we use ambient ozone
detectors to shut down the systems if leaks develop in
the piping. We initially set the OSHA 12 hour limit as
our shutdown point. However, since ground level ozone
concentrations often exceed this concentration, we had
to move our setpoint to the higher OSHA 8 hour limit.
The bottom line is OSHA says there's a concentration
that's not safe for breathing 8 hours worth. Since the
whole metro Atlanta area experiences those
concentractions, but we haven't wiped out all mold,
you probably need concentrations that are unsafe to
breath, in order to kill the mold.
