Ozone, a three-atom form of oxygen, is a normal trace element in the earth's atmosphere. Ozone is the strongest commercially available oxidizing agent. Because gaseous ozone is highly reactive, it readily oxidizes organic matter and has a variety of uses such as a bactericide and an algaecide. There are three stages in the life cycle of ozone: generation, oxidation, and decay. Its presence can be detected by its sweet odor even at low concentrations. More on Ozone
Ozone is a form of oxygen that has been electrically energized. The energy makes ozone more chemically active than oxygen. Most pungent substances are described by chemists as being unsaturated. Unsaturated simply means their molecular structure is not closed; therefore, it will readily combine with oxygen. Ozone actually breaks down polluted molecules such as hydrocarbons into water vapor and carbon dioxide. An ozone generator doesn't hide or mask unpleasant aromas with perfume or chemicals; ozone will attack and destroy, by oxidation, the offending molecules. Why Use Ozone for Air Cleaning? Low level ozone (oxidation) is an excellent air purification method. Ozone or activated oxygen is an unstable three-part molecule of oxygen (O3). When ozone meets a pollutant in the air it attaches itself to the pollutant and changes it into harmless compound. Eventually, it will oxidize or neutralize (destroy) it. therefore, low level ozone is an excellent method of eliminating unpleasant odors in the air, destroying pollen and dust particles, and even killing bacteria that may be floating in the air. Activated oxygen also revitalizes and refreshes stale air often found in homes and offices. Read more about Ozone & Ion Synergy Why Use Ozone for Water Purification? Ozone is the perfect answer to the global clean-water crisis. The US Food and Drug Administration and EPA found that ozone effectively destroys 99.9992 % of pathogens, including giardia and cryptosporidium. The American Water Works Association did research in 1991 that found ozone effectively neutralized viruses, bacteria, amoeba, protozoa and spores in municipal water supplies. At the Second International Symposium on Ozone Applications in 1997, WJ Masschelein, honorary president of the International Ozone Association, summarized some of ozone's other benefits as a water purifier: "Ozone is now used...for taste and odor control, removal of iron manganese...biodegradability of dissolved organic substances, ability to cope with parasites refractory compounds like chlorinated pesticides." Ozone has no known toxicity. Meanwhile, certain government authorities would have the public believe exactly the opposite of the truth: that chlorine is safe and that ozone is a dangerous pollutant. Most major cities still do not ozonate their water, even more reason to take water purification into your own hands.
