Of course, in general, ozone has a half-life (half of an hour), just need wait 30-90 minutes(good ventilation), it will decompose itself into oxygen and can't smell anymore. But its decomposition rate is also affected by another two factors below:

  1. Temperature: The higher the temperature, the faster the decomposition, so in winter, may need to wait more time.
  2. Lighting time of the bulb: The longer the bulb is lit, the more ozone is produced and longer it needs to wait.
