"Otsoni voimakkaana hapettimena todennäköisesti muuttaa biologisesti aktiivisen aineen hiilidioksidiksi ja vedeksi."

Ilmassa otsonin ja molekyylien väliset etäisyydet ovat niin suuret, että reaktio ei etene loppuun asti toisin kuin vedessä, jossa molekyylit ovat lähekkäin. Reaktiotuotteena voi siis syntyä mitä tahansa.

Aiheesta on valtavasti tutkimustietoa. Esim. Charles J. Weschler on tutkinut otsonin reaktioita jo 1980-luvulta lähtien. Hän kävi pari vuotta sitten Suomessakin luennoimassa.

esimerkiksi,että kun homekasvuston peittämää seinää otsonoidaan,niin kasvusto muuttuu vedeksi ja hiilidioksidiksi ja haihtuu ilmaan eikä mitään jää jäljelle,vaan rakenne on puhdas ja ongelma poistettu. Epäilenpä.
