Ozone generators to clean grow spaces?

In between runs and tent or grow space cleanliness, has anyone ever tried or thought to run an ozone generator to kill any potential bacteria, fungi or pathogens? I’ve seen car detailers use such a machine in a mold infested car. Just makes me wonder is ozone is a viable option

maybe reactive appllication but not proactive. Think it can damage plants, and there's some danger to humans too if something malfunctions. controlling your climate and keeping a clean space should be enough. At one time i had some issues. i didn't realize my temp drop after lights out was causing a few minutes of potential condensation - after flip to flower with increased warmth from the 'now' full-power lights and larger plants transpiring. Temps dropped, RH rose, ended up with mold. And, that's with a large home dehumidifier running - 50pt/day AHAM standard I learned it could only keep up with about 40sq ft of plants during winter which would normally be an ambient 30% RH with furnace. It died in 4 years because it had to work so hard, lol. Now one is 40% more pints per day AHAM and commercial-grade build quality. Don't skimp on the dehum. it is almost always self-inflicted. a proper climate will avoid it.
