Ozone question. Canyon Fire.... Please advise
I was affected by the Canyon 2 fire because when my neighborhood was evacuated, I was not home. Someone decided to bash open my window to let my barking dog out. Of course they chose the biggest window and one that is directly in the path of the smoke coming from both the wildfire and from my neighbors houses on the street below me which burned to the ground. Because of the broken window my house was filled with smoke and now has a layer of ash and soot throughout. My tank seems fine but I had to file an insurance claim since my house became an ash tray. The smoke mitigation company said the last step of the extensive cleaning process is typically to run ozone throughout the entire house and nobody can enter the house for a few days after the ozone stops. If I need this done do you think the ozone will kill my tank? I've never run ozone in my tank before so I don't know much about it. Obviously if it's run in my entire house the levels would be pretty high. Also do you think there is anything I should be concerned about for my family after the ozone treatment is done? Does ozone completely dissipate?
