Ozone generators can eliminate bad odors thanks to their ability to react chemically with the compounds responsible for these odors. Here’s how it works:
- Oxidation of odorous compounds: Ozone is a powerful oxidant. When released into the air by an ozone generator, it reacts with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the air. These VOCs are often responsible for unpleasant odors, for example from smoke, animals, cooking, or other sources.
- Decomposition of odorous molecules: Upon reaction with ozone, odorous molecules break down into non-odorous chemicals. This decomposition can occur because ozone reacts and oxidizes the chemical bonds in odorous compounds, turning them into odorless substances.
- Neutralizing odor sources: In addition to reacting directly with odorous compounds, ozone can also penetrate fabrics, carpets, furniture and other surfaces where odors can be trapped. This allows the ozone generator to reach the very sources of odors and neutralize them.
- Deep cleaning: Ozone can penetrate cracks, fabrics and other hard-to-reach areas, helping to deep clean the car interior.
- Eliminating Lingering Odors: Ozone is effective in eliminating unwanted odors in the car cabin, such as those caused by cigarette smoke, pets, mold, food, etc.
- Interior disinfection: Ozone has antibacterial and antiviral properties, which can help eliminate germs, bacteria and viruses present inside the car. This can be particularly beneficial for health, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Ozone Generators Help Control Allergies
Thanks to its powerful oxidizing properties, ozone (O3) can be an effective solution for limiting the effects of allergens. Here’s how these devices can help:
Neutralizing allergens: Ozone breaks down allergens such as pollen and dust mites into non-irritating components, reducing allergic reactions.
Air purification: By eliminating harmful bacteria and viruses, ozone contributes to better air quality, minimizing respiratory issues.
Odor removal: Ozone generators neutralize unpleasant odors linked to allergens, such as those caused by mold.
Procedure for Optimal Use of Ozone Generators
- Prepare the space: Before treatment, ensure that the area is free of people and animals.
- Set the device: Adjust the ozone generator according to the instructions, including the recommended treatment duration.
- Ventilate after treatment: Ventilate the room thoroughly once the treatment is completed to remove any excess ozone before re-entering.
Safety precautions
Although ozone generators are highly effective, they require careful handling, especially when people with respiratory issues are present. Always follow the instructions and ensure proper ventilation after each treatment.
