I worked for a short time as a plant manager where we cleaned bilge water from tugboats and strip water from barges. The last purification sequence was to run the treated water through an ozone venturi to zap the light end hydrocarbons remaining, to polish the water prior to storing and subsequent discharge. The ozone generator was next to my office\lab and ran most if the time. Once you smell it you never forget the aroma. To me, it smelled like really strong bleach with an acrid chemical overtone. Sometimes it was strong enough to irritate my eyes. A few times my throat and sinuses, but other than being an irratent, it never made me sick.

My cousin shared this pic on his FB page and I shared it on mine. No one in the comments of the FB friend where he shared it from knows what to think other than it's the virus, the pending vaccine or the by-product of some process or another where COVID is an important ingredient. No one knows where the pic was taken either which means it's probably been shared quite a bit. So what it's worth:

Well, this is an excellent form of protest. If it's fake, somebody is telling everybody what they think. I was wondering when we were going to start seeing 'Monkey Wrench Gang' tactics for 5G, and Chemtrailing (taking down towers/street lights, marking airports, or something. It doesn't hurt anyone does it?).

I'd still like to know where the pic was taken and I'm trying to backtrack through the shares.

The Snopes piece cracked me up. They went overly scientific with their debunking.

Here is a bigger image.

Who knows what's in that truck. Why place COVID-19 on a truck particularly if you have the means to suss out if the image is doctored? Hmmm.

I don't even have to zoom in to tell you that it's been photoshoped, too obvious.
As for Ozone, I know it's used for treating water in the Netherlands, Ozone+ UV light.
Dutch consider it a non-toxic option, as opposed to chlorine.

I have used ozone generators/air purifiers in my house for about ten years now. Once turned on you can see smoke literally fall from the air. Nothing I've used works better to clean particles from the air. It also kills odor and bacteria. When we have the big fires here on the west coast, my ozone generators are on high, and it works. And yes, there is a bit of a scent, very similar to a beach smell. But you don't really notice it unless you step out and then back in. I feel much healthier with it on.
So why do they tell us ozone is bad if it cleans the air and improves our health?

Interesting. You might be onto something. I've also noticed that in recent years the sun seems much brighter white, and more intense, and the sky and clouds are different too. Something is up.

Anything can be bad in big doses, oxygen, water, anything.
And anything can be beneficial in small doses, radiation, snake poison, anything.
In Chemistry It's all about the right dosages and ratios, the balance.

Ozone is good for "stuff". It neutralizes odors and kills germs but it's not meant to be breathed in, at least not in large doses. You can breathe in the smoke from a campfire too but when it becomes so thick as to replace the oxygen, you choke.

I too have noticed a very strange smell in the air where I live. It started ever since we started getting cases of Covid-19 here! It smells of manure, with a hint of algae/pond/wetland, and sulfur. Now, my area commonly gets winter inversions that trap stinky smog and pollution in the valleys, but I've never smelled anything quite like this before. The sky also looks weird and overcast. Its been very windy lately too, and the wind is thick with the scent. It It's really weird. Something is up. Might be onto something with the ground-level ozone theory.

I would also add that perhaps your local sewage treatment plant has been closed down, who nose, but if it smells like sh*t it ain't ozone. Automatic ozone dispensers are used worldwide in toilets to neutralise odours and any airborne bacteria.

Overcast sky and windy too eh? Really weird... We call it weather where I come from.

The smell of ozone is comparable to chlorine.

I think the negative effects of ozone only come from higher doses. Are you talking about true ozone generators or simply air ionizers who release a bit of ozone?

As far as I understand the ozone generators will lead to a problematic level of ozone pretty quickly if you have the windows closed. They can produce up to 10g Ozone per hour, which oxidizes the lung tissue. It can be used therapeutically with good success, but it's usually used in the short-term. Ozone is oxygen on steroids. It oxidizes living cells, which is the reason it's so helpful against micro-organisms.

The ionizers do not release enough ozone to be problematic, but it starts to smell of ozone already with miniscule amounts in the air and it's enough to have some kind of sanitizing effect on the air.

In 1896, Tesla was issued a patent for a corona discharge ozone generator using charged metal plates to act on ambient air. He formed the Tesla Ozone Company to produce these generators for mass production. His customers were both naturopaths and allopaths. Breathing of ozone bubbled through olive oil and other oils was widely practiced at this time, and the Sears catalog of 1904 offered a unit for tihs purpose using eucalyptus, pine and spearmint oils. Tesla produced a gel made by bubbling ozone through olive oil until it solidified, and sold it to doctors. I have used it, and it definitely works.

To get back to the topic of this thread, if covid-19 is related to ozone, it would probably need to be a high level of ozone in the air to cause problems.

It’s funny you say that as this winter I would go out and, at first, Faintly smell chlorine. I’ve got a pretty good nose (unfortunately sometimes). I asked my husband and he didn’t, and even googled it. In our winter everything is deeply frozen so it wasn’t organic. I suspected chemtrails but what can you do?

Ozone is readily detected by smell. At least some people can smell levels of ozone down to 0.05 ppm. This odor-detection level is already half-way to the recommended limit. When I was working with high voltage discharges I smelled it quite a bit although I was younger and didn't smell it for long periods of time. In lower amounts there is very little damage to the lungs. If this was the cause all doctors, nurses, medical transport, family and neighbors would have smelled it too and would have the same symptoms as the patient in the high ozone atmosphere. Ozone cannot be the current cause of the disease process unless every reported contact with a patient has been hidden completely for ozone smell which I find implausible. Yet we have the USA currently manufacturing many new ventilators for a pandemic that the death rate and infected has been radically downgraded to a flu level.
The key here is corona discharges in the atmosphere that will be happening in the near future as these devices will help those whose lungs will have been expose to high levels of these compounds. In other posts I have shown experiments using artificial lightning created Sulfur Dioxide and micro Silicon Dioxide particles from the Oxygen and Nitrogen in the atmosphere by dielectric compression. Corona discharges typically at lower power create Ozone. Both of these chemical reactions are due to high level discharges in the atmosphere.
The air quality index is divided into six levels of health concern:

aqi-bar-large_narrow_2018.png Understanding Sulfur Dioxide Health Advisory Levels
  • Good (0–0.1 ppm)
    No cautionary statement.
  • map-dot-16x16-2-moderate.png Moderate (0.1–0.2 ppm)
    Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
  • map-dot-16x16-3-unheathy-sensitive-grps.png Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (0.2–1.0 ppm)
    Active children and adults, and people with lung disease, such as asthma, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
  • map-dot-16x16-4-unhealthy.png Unhealthy (1.0–3.0 ppm)
    Active children and adults, and people with lung disease, such as asthma, should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. Everyone else, especially children, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
  • map-dot-16x16-5-very-unhealthy.png Very Unhealthy (3.0–5.0 ppm)
    Active children and adults, and people with lung disease, such as asthma, should avoid all outdoor exertion. Everyone else, especially children, should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
  • map-dot-16x16-5-hazardous.png Hazardous ( > 5.0 ppm)
    Triggers health warnings of emergency conditions. Entire population is more likely to be affected. Avoid outdoor activities & remain indoors. Leave the area if directed by Civil Defense.
  • When magnetic reversal happens plasma discharges will permeate the atmosphere filling it with damaging Sulfur Dioxide, micro-particles of Silicon Dioxide, and Ozone. Each will have damaging effects on the lungs.

this was 2 quick ogle searches:

2019 Ozone Hole is the Smallest on Record Since Its Discovery

"The weather systems that disrupted the 2019 ozone hole are typically modest in September, but this year they were unusually strong, dramatically warming the Antarctic’s stratosphere during the pivotal time for ozone destruction. At an altitude of about 12 miles (20 kilometers), temperatures during September were 29 degrees F (16˚C) warmer than average, the warmest in the 40-year historical record for September by a wide margin."

Arctic Ozone Watch: Ozone facts

"The peak concentration of ozone occurs at an altitude of roughly 32 kilometers (20 miles) above the surface of the Earth. At that altitude, ozone concentration can be as high as 15 parts per million (0.0015 percent)."

... did not have time to search at the time on my earlier comment, should have clarified km or m. thanks for the reply, refreshed my memory as well :)
