Why do unpleasant odours bother us ?

Unpleasant odours bother us primarily because of evolutionary and biological factors. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Survival Mechanism: Our sense of smell evolved as a means to detect hazards in our environment. Unpleasant odours often signal danger, such as spoiled food, toxins, or the presence of harmful microorganisms. By finding these smells repulsive, we're more likely to avoid consuming or coming into contact with harmful substances.
2. Association with Disease: Many unpleasant odours are associated with decay and decomposition, which are often accompanied by harmful bacteria and pathogens. Our aversion to these smells helps us steer clear of potential sources of infection and illness.
3. Social and Cultural Factors: Cultural and social conditioning also play a role in how we perceive odours. From a young age, we learn to associate certain smells with cleanliness and others with filth or danger. These associations reinforce our natural aversion to unpleasant odours.
4. Psychological Impact: Unpleasant odours can trigger negative emotions and stress. The brain's limbic system, which is involved in emotion and memory, is closely connected to our olfactory system. This means that bad smells can evoke strong emotional responses, often of disgust or discomfort.
5. Personal Experiences: Individual experiences also shape our perception of odours. A smell that is associated with a bad memory or experience can become particularly unpleasant to an individual, even if it might not be universally considered foul.

These factors combined make unpleasant odours a powerful trigger for aversion and discomfort.

The reasons for the appearance of unpleasant odors are always different.

Sometimes, to eliminate an unpleasant smell, it is enough to eliminate the cause and ventilate the room. But sometimes things, furniture, curtains, carpets and walls "absorb" smells and it will take a long time before the smell disappears completely.
​

​In this case, powerful oxidizers will come to our aid. Chlorine-based products are effective, but difficult to use and a strong smell of chlorine will linger in the room for a long time. In addition, all products must be thoroughly washed off and hidden from animals and plants.

 We offer you treatment of premises and car interiors with ozone. home odor removal.

​​Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is a more effective disinfectant than either chlorine or chlorine dioxide. It destroys bacteria, yeasts, black mould and parasites. Ozone treatment significantly reduces the level of unpleasant odor, and sometimes completely removes it.​ Ozone does not eliminate the cause of the bad smell, but many believe that it is the most effective and safe way to eliminate the consequences.​ Ozone is the best odours eliminator for the home.

Ozone Fact Sheet
Ozone O3, is the tri-atomic form of oxygen. In simple it is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms. In nature, ozone is formed by reactions involving ultraviolet rays or by the electrical discharge of lighting. Behind fluorine and hydroxyl radicals, ozone has the third-highest oxidation potential at 2.07.
Ozone O3 is 50 times more powerful and over 3000 times faster, acting than chlorine bleach. During its short “lifespan,” ozone is highly reactive.
The third molecule in O3 is bonded loosely; it will break away, leaving pure oxygen, O2, and a single atom, O.
Ozone is a high-energy molecule. Its half-life in water at room temperature is only 20 minutes, and it decomposes into simple oxygen. Because ozone can be produced on-site and on-demand, the effect is reduced chemical cost, storage, handling, and added plant safety. There are no toxic byproducts or potential health hazards when properly used as a microbicide.

​As a biocide, ozone works similarly to chlorine (another oxidant) and is used in a similar manner.  Ozone disinfects by directly oxidizing and destroying the microorganism’s cell wall, causing cellular components to leak outside the cell. 
This causes protoplasmic destruction of the cell, damaging constituents of the nucleic acids, and breaking the carbon-nitrogen bonds, which leads to depolymerization. During the process, ozone splits into oxygen and an ozone atom, which is lost during the reaction with the microorganism’s cell fluids, O3 -> O2 + (O).
 Due to the nature of the direct oxidation power of ozone, there is no mechanism for pathogens to create an immunity to ozone as with other chemical disinfectants and biocides.

​Want to know what OZONE smells like, remember the smell after a thunderstorm with lightning or high in the mountains. This smell will give you good memories. After treating the room with ozone, it is necessary to ventilate the room for 20 minutes and the smell of OZONE will completely disappear.

Question and answers

• Q: When might it be necessary to treat a room with ozone ? A: Home odour removal before putting a house up for sale, after renovations, after a long absence from the house, after a leak or flood, after renting it out, after a fire, after tenants with bad habits move out, and during periods of mass flu epidemics and pandemics, before selling a car.
• Q: Does ozone exist in nature ?      A: Yes, ozone (O₃) exists in nature. It is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms and is found in both the Earth's stratosphere and troposphere. ​Stratospheric Ozone (Ozone Layer): Most of the Earth's ozone is located in the stratosphere, an atmosphere layer extending from about 10 to 30 miles (15 to 50 kilometres) above the Earth's surface. This "ozone layer" absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting living organisms on Earth.
• Q: How fast does ozone disappear?        A: Ozone naturally decomposes back into oxygen molecules (O₂). The half-life of ozone in the atmosphere is typically around 30 minutes to several hours. This half-life is often closer to 1-2 hours in a controlled indoor environment.
• Q: What bacteria and viruses does ozone destroy?    A: Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidizing agent that can destroy a wide range of bacteria and viruses. Its effectiveness as a disinfectant is due to its ability to break down cell walls and disrupt cellular function. Here are some bacteria and viruses that ozone is known to be effective against:
  Bacteria - Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis: The bacterium responsible for tuberculosis (TB).
  Viruses - Influenza Virus, Norovirus, Rhinovirus, Coronavirus: Including SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Ozone has been studied for its effectiveness against coronaviruses, and some studies suggest it can reduce viral load. Hepatitis A Virus, Poliovirus.
• Q: Does ozone remove toxins and black mould?    A: Yes, ozone can neutralize all toxins (phenols, pesticides, detergents, chemical wastes and aromatic compounds) as well as killing microorganisms due to its strong oxidizing properties also Ozone is effective at killing black mold on exposed surfaces.
