TL;DR
Ozone treatment is an odor-elimination process in which a generator floods an unoccupied, sealed space with ozone gas that chemically breaks down smoke, pet, and mildew odor molecules rather than masking them. Because ozone harms lungs, people, pets, and plants must leave during treatment and for several hours of airing afterward; it also degrades rubber and some foams with repeated use.
What it means
Ozone treatment is an odor-elimination process in which a generator floods an unoccupied, sealed space with ozone gas that chemically breaks down smoke, pet, and mildew odor molecules rather than masking them. Because ozone harms lungs, people, pets, and plants must leave during treatment and for several hours of airing afterward; it also degrades rubber and some foams with repeated use. Restoration companies deploy it after fire losses, often alongside hydroxyl generators, which are slower but safe for occupied spaces.
