If it's coming from outside, close off all your windows and doors to keep it out. If it's coming from the inside, open your windows to get rid of it.
Many electronics (laser printers, copy machines, air cleaners) produce ozone as well, so keep the use to a minimum. The ozone will eventually dissipate.

Ozone is not bad (it helps to have a better environment in your house) at the right time; even do it is a strong irritant because is very reactive always is in the neutralization process.
Ozone is produced by electrical arching and other means but for a house to be polluted by ozone something really wrong should be going on inside the house, and as anything in excess can be harmful so if you feel you have to search for the source.
Ozone smell is very peculiar it has a sweet smell and when ionized (electrical charged it bonds to bacteria dust any thing flying in you house atmosphere and neutralizing itself so the particle fall to ground then your environment will be clean.
Ozone destroys bacteria and takes out smells Ozone (O3) is a triatomic molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms.
Ozone reacts directly with some hydrocarbons such as aldehydes and thus begins their removal from the air, but the products of ozonolysis are themselves key components of smog. Ozone photolysis by UV light leads to production of the hydroxyl radical and this plays a part in the removal of hydrocarbons from the air, but is again a step in the creation of components of smog such as peroxyacyl nitrates which are powerful eye irritants. Ultimately, ozone is one component of smog which is harmful in itself and contributes both to the production and ultimate removal of other air pollutants.
ozone or ozonated water is used to:
-disinfect water before it is bottled,
-deoderize air and object, such as after a fire
-kill bacteria on food-contact surfaces
-scrub yeast and mold spores from the air in food processing plants
-wash fresh fruits and vegetables to kill yeast, mold and bacteria
-chemically attack contaminants in water (iron, arsenic, hydrogen sulfide, nitrites, and complex organics lumped together as "color"),
-provide an aid to flocculation (a process of agglomeration of molecules, which aids in filtration... this is where the iron and arsenic are removed),
-clean and bleach fabrics (the latter use is patented),
-assist in processing plastics to allow adhesion of inks,
age rubber samples to determine the useful life of a batch of rubber.
-Used in surface water treatment plants to eradicate bacteria such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. This process is known as ozonation.

how do you know your home has high ozone?
