Poly floor smell?

While not quite a garage, it is going to be my workshop. I had a local company (franchise), Wise Coatings, install this poly floor in my shop on June 2nd. It’s about 2k square feet and as of today, there’s still a lingering smell that seems to give me a sore throat. I have all available exhaust running when I can, which has been about 5 days this week, and I’ve run an ozone generator for a total of about 6 hours, but no real change.

Will this smell go away? Is there an issue with the install? The installer assures me it’s fine and it’ll eventually go away, but the space is unusable for me the way it is now. I’m worried about developing a sensitivity. Is there anything I can do? Should I just have it ground back down to raw concrete?

Owned it for a few months now and always look back at it walking away.
