I have absolutely no idea what the concentration is. What was your experience ? (concentration I mean)

I have the generator and air pump enclosed in an (almost) airtight container, with enough leakage so the ozone pumped out will be replaced by outside air, to be converted into more ozone.

The concentration is enough that I can still smell the ozone coming out of of my etchant tank, after being bubbled in by very tiny bubbles.

After a short time I can smell the ozone through out the room.
