Ozone Shock Treatments for your Home or Office Removes Airborne Bacteria (mold), Viruses, Pet and Tobacco Odors Instantly What is ozone? Ozone is a natural occurring substance. Ozone is sometimes referred to as "activated oxygen". Most oxygen that we breathe has two atoms of oxygen joined together. However, ozone is three atoms of oxygen joined together. Benefits of ozone Ozone has many advantages over conventional oxidants and disinfectants. First of all, ozone is portable because of the nature of the generator. Unlike other disinfectants, ozone treatments leave no trace; Disinfectants and treatment chemicals other than ozone either are or can produce toxic halogenated compounds. Most importantly, ozone acts instantly to destroy bacteria and odor, and moreover, reacts quickly to any strain of virus or mildew, even making it popular for therapeutic treatment. Ozone can be used in much larger doses as a shock treatment for attacking mildew or mold, removing odor, or eliminating cigarette or cigar smoke. Ozone Facts Ozone is the second most sterilizer in the world. How does ozone work? Ozone is a very powerful substance, but it only exists for a brief instance. Remember that ozone is just like oxygen, except it has an extra oxygen atom. When odors come in contact with the extra atom, the extra atom of oxygen destroys it on contact by a process known as oxidation. Through that process, the extra atom is lost, meaning there is no odor, and no extra atom, just normal oxygen. Many car dealers use ozone to permanently remove cigarette and cigar odors from their used cars. Are ozone generators safe? Yes. However, the use of an ozone generator is not recommended for occupancy in extremely high concentration for long periods of time. Exposure to extremely high concentrations for long periods of time can cause headaches. Thus, after performing a shock treatment, it is recommended to ventilate the area after the shock treatment is complete. "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in conjunction with the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1991, confirmed that ozone was effective in ridding water of hazardous pathogens, including chlorine resistant Cryptosporidium." Agricultural Outlook, June/July, 1998. Does the odor come back? No. If the ozone generator is used correctly, the odor will be gone. However, mildew can grow back if the area isn't fully treated.
