"The trouble is that one soon gets used to bad air, and bad
odors are not apt to be noticed after awhile; but the fact
remains that pure air is more wholesome than contaminated air.
In our regular daily life, it is almost an impossibility to
provide for fresh air. No amount of ventilation, not even an
unbearable draft, will be capable of keeping a room or a place
in good condition, unless one takes recourse in ventilating with
ozonized air. Removal of bad odors by means of air flushing is
an absolute impossibility, and yet they should be removed. That
is where ozone comes in. The method of purifying the air by
ozone has the advantage of being fully reliable, very efficient
and inexpensive."

"Ozone destroys virtually all odors that are present. It does
not merely mask them. The destruction of odors is impossible
when air is circulated only, or when oxygen is used. This fact
has been proven in cold storage warehouses, where all kinds and
any food products are stored. Odors are not present regardless
how strong they might be, or where they may originate, if only
low concentrations of Ozone is used."

"As a deodorant for odors and stenches of organic origin, ozone
has long proven effective and we can only confirm this general
opinion."
- Dr. Philip Drinker,

"Ozone destroys organic odors. Ozone is a deodorizer of powerful
stenches, such as from garbage incineration and fat rendering.
When the odors from chimneys cause public nuisance, Ozone has
big commercial usefulness."

In "Preventive Medicine and Hygiene"
"The effect of Ozone was thought in the past to be a masking
action, but more recently the tendency is to hold that it is
purely an oxidizing process. Most odors encountered in
ventilation problems result from hydrocarbon compounds suspended
in the atmosphere in minute quantities as the result of human or
animal respiration and from various organic processes. These
hydrocarbons are immediately oxidized upon coming in contact
with ozone, the resulting products being water and carbon
dioxide, both odorless. This process is effective in completely
removing the scent of odors, if the reaction is complete, which
requires that the Ozone be in such a manner as to insure its
even distribution throughout the air.

"...In sales, cooler, fresh and sweet air at times would be a
distinct selling advantage. OZONE seems to offer this solution,
in the meat packing plant. In fact, it is being widely used in
cold storage plants to correct the very situation objectionable
in the meat packing plant."
- In "Refrigeration and Air Conditioning"
"Unpleasant odors are not masked or covered up, but are
literally destroyed. The results in an ordinary room are almost
immediate. Where clean, fresh air is desirable, this machine has
a definite contribution to make to the Medical World.
- George A. Johnstone, MD,
Medical Director of Behrens Memorial Hospital Glendale,
California
"When Ozone comes in contact with dead organic matter, oxidation
immediately takes place with destruction of the organic matter.
In this, it is powerful in removing odors."
- Dr. J. C. Olson
