Hi, Charles. I bought a bioblaster home unit from one of your associates a few years ago. I think its output is around 20,000 mg/hr. Treated my car for an hour yesterday. Aired it out pretty good, followed by open windowed driving that night, plus all day today.The strong chlorine smell is still there. I thought ozone had a half life of 30 minutes. What’s happening?

Dear Robert,

If you ran a 20,000 mg machine in an area as small as a car and did not crack the windows or put the machine outside and pump the gas in through the window, you likely are experiencing “ozone burn” which means that you exhausted the O2 whilst attempting to make ozone and made some funky combinations of gasses. Don’t worry it will go away in a few days!
