In Macau, they have little trash garages which are flooded with UV at night
- We installed one in the kitchen cabinet trash and recycling "drawer bins," as well as behind the stove and fridge. It smells of ozone, but there are no bugs or trash smells
  
  You're generating ozone in your house. You might be okay if you have a good furnace filter?
  
  It's not enough to cause health issues, just enough that you'll smell it in the kitchen, but only if no cooking has been done recently
