4. Ozone Generator - DO NOT GET ONE!
Ozone generators are relatively new device added to grow rooms to neutralize smells. Ozone generators claim to remove odors, clean the air, and kill mold and mildew.
Although some growers claim that ozone generators are the best means of eliminating odor, at GrowWeedEasy.com, we strongly recommend against having one in your grow room.
What’s the big deal?
Well, one problem is that they’re bad for the environment. So much, in fact, that they’re illegal in the state of CA where I live (see: http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/indoor/o3g-list.htm ).
More importantly, ozone generators are actually bad for YOU!
Here are just a few of the many links to research from reputable institutions all saying the same thing: Ozone generators are bad for humans!
EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
“In fact, when ozone is inhaled, it can damage the lungs.”
OSHA (U.S. Occupational Health & Safety Administration)
Ozone is listed as a “Major Indoor Air Contaminant”
American Lung Association
“Ozone is a potent lung irritant and exposure to elevated levels is a contributor to the exacerbation of lung disease”
California Air Resources Board
BANNED!
Texas Department of State Health Services
“Ozone-generating devices should not be used in occupied spaces. Ozone is a lung irritant.”
Some growers claim to have safer ways to use ozone in in their grows, such as venting ozone out of the house or making sure ozone only goes into the exhaust. Again, we would strongly recommend against using ozone since in the best case, it’s only doing what a carbon scrubber can do. In the worst case, it’s hurting the lungs of you, your pets and your family!
