Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Ozone (also referred to as trivalent oxygen or saturated oxygen) is a powerful oxidizing agent. Long term exposure to high levels of ozone may result in permanent lung damage. Exposure to ozone can also result in cough and chest pain on deep inhalation, eye, throat and nose irritation, and increased sensitivity to airborne allergens and irritants. While ozone is a necessary part of the upper atmosphere, ozone is a principle component of smog in the lower atmosphere that we breathe. Ozone can also react with volatile organic compounds in the air to produce harmful byproducts such as formaldehyde. Ozone is produced indirectly by ion generators and some other electronic air cleaners, and directly by ozone generators. > > Several months ago someone here posted about ozone lite bulbs which claims to vaporize mold spores. I talked with a technician at the plant an he said that the spore and mycotoxins would vaporize in carbon dixoide. He sent me one free and I used it in the bedroom of the apartment I had in Odessa, Tx. The room was actually a little large for the bulb but I thought the air smelled fresher.I also did not go intot the bedroom except after a shower at night to go to bed. > > A friend from another list who has been having mold problems ordered about 7-8 bulbs. she emailed me today that she can tell already the air smelling fresher and the mold has not been bothering her. they also make a full-spectrum light for SAD. I still think it is too soon to be sure that the ozone bulb is getting rid of mold spores AND the toxins but I am going to order five more for my mobile home. This has a patent and was developed by scientist at Penn State. I have wasted a lot of money over the past tetn years on CFS but what is $140 compared to having to leave your home and pay $300/month to live in a tent in the desert?? > > The mold spores have to actually touch the bulb to work. > > Bob > > > > > --------------------------------- > Personals > Skip the bars and set-ups and start using Personals for free > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 The consensus a couple of months ago was that they will help keep a clean place clean. but not de-toxify a moldy area. They help with the chemical oder eminating from one of my bathrooms, but do not help with the minor mold problem in the powder room. Thanks Bob.Would you explain what you are trying to accomplish with the ozone bulbs. Are you clearing the air with them? Loni > > Clear the air of mold spores AND toxins from mold. That is why I bought them but I have tried many things for CFS which didn't work. They claim it will " vaporize " mold spores and the mycotoxins into carbon dixocide " . > > Bob > > Bob > > > > --------------------------------- > Personals > Single?

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 having has a very bad living experience myself, I would not put any hope of being able to live in a moldy home just because you have a ozone light bulbs, they are not magic, and perhaps not as good as hepa filters for spores. . As I stated, they do little for my moldy powder room, and that is not even toxic mold, you can do a search and re-read the old posts if you like.

Didn't the consensus come from several people's opinion who had used them? I got small results from just one in a room larger than what the bulb was rated for and I know a woman in the DFW area who bought 7-8 of them after talking with me and she emailed me back that she was noticing a difference after 12 twelve hours. I bought 7 more based on her word. I am not saying this for people to buy any. If I were not so desperate right now to be able to live in my home, I would have waited for my friend to use the ozone bulbs and get her results first. If I were on this list and wasn't really, really feeling that bad as I know several are not, I would wait to see what they do for me. I probably have a home as bad as any on the list so if they WERE to work for me, I would think think they would work for anyone. > > Bob > > > > --------------------------------- > > Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
