Our Hospital has been utilizing UV sanitizers after isloation room cleaning for a couple of years. The rooms are blocked off and smell heavily of ozone afterward. Im not sure if the ozone is generated intentionally or as a byproduct of the instense UV lights. It does also help with the smells.
The units are about 6 ' tall and look like some science fiction movie prop. Im sure they cost a small fortune.
A lot of staff has no idea what ozone is let alone smells like. I tell them its just the smell of dead germs.

Interestingly there are no warnings or MSDS data, but the rooms are closed off and ventlation resumed afterward.
If the Ozone was particularly hazardous Im pretty sure we would be getting more info on it.
Chris,

You are right on.
If there aren't warnings all over it, either the ozone made them fall off or the Ozone Institute got someone to listen.

There are two ways to get oxygen to become ozone and one it with the correct wavelength of UV. There are a number of manufactures that produce these. The other is corona discharge. The problem with that is that the heat in the corona can get a large portion to recombine as just plain O2.

Ozone is neat stuff.

Matt
