As soon as ozone is formed in the generator and dispersed in a room some of it decays back into oxygen. This step occurs by several processes including the following: Natural decay (or revision to oxygen) due to ozone chemical instability. The natural process is speeded up by the presence of walls, carpets, furniture etc. Oxidation reaction with odor causing organic material, which removes ozone. Reactions with bacteria again consumes ozone by oxidation reactions. Additionally ozone itself has a very short half life which means that any extra ozone will return to oxygen within about 30 minutes, in amounts equal to half its level.
