Hi, I use an ozone generator to control the population of mold spores in a clean environment. I constructed it myself, basically it's a pyrex tube wrapped in conducting foil with a conducting wire mesh rolled inside. A very high alternating voltage is imposed across the foil and mesh, and air is forced through the tube, dispersing large amounts of ozone into the room. I have been told that high voltage ozone generators run in plain air environments also generate unstable N2 molecules, a known carcinogen. Can anyone comment as to the truth of this statement? If true, then what is the half-life of N2? Chemistry is not my strongest skill, I just want to make sure the sanitization procedure is safe. No-one is present in the room while it is being ozonated, and I need to know the minimum time before the room becomes safe to inhabit again (I believe the half-life of ozone is roughly 1/2 hour, I have been allowing a minimum of 2 hours for decay.). Thanks, Adam
