Ozone is a marvel of Nature. In the upper atmosphere Ozone
protects our planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Closer
to Earth, Ozone purifies and sanitizes the air we breathe, the
water we drink, and food we eat. Long used in medical therapies,
Ozone has shown remarkable antibacterial, anti-viral, and
anti-fungal activity.
As a gas it is highly mobile and can dilute into the air, flow
over surfaces and seep into fabrics and crevices. Ozone, is a
unique molecule that seeks out and destroys the organic
molecules that form much of the indoor pollutants. Whether the
pollutants are from biological or chemical sources, Ozone
rapidly oxidizes them by first reverting itself to O2 (oxygen)
and then depositing the third Oxygen atom on the offending
pollutant. This process very effectively deodorizes, disinfects,
and destroys many of the pathogens and fumes that poison the
indoor air.
Ozone (O3) is an unstable form of Oxygen (O2) and has a total of
three atoms, unlike stable Oxygen that has only two atoms.
In Nature, Ozone is formed by the sun's ultraviolet rays and the
high energy electrical discharges that happen during lightning
storms.
Ozone can also be reproduced scientifically in safe, controlled
quantities.
Ozone continuously applied in slightly elevated concentrations
is an extremely effective, safe, and economical method of
reducing common household bacteria, fungi, molds, mildew, and
viruses on surfaces in our rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and in
the air we breathe. By oxidizing the byproducts of decay, Ozone
rapidly eliminates the allergens from dust mites and other
arthropods. Ozone can also eliminate harmful chemical gases that
are emitted from plywood, carpet, glue, paint, many indoor
cleaners, etc.. Ozone's powerful oxidizing action quickly
reduces trapped chemical residues to harmless byproducts.
