Ozone Disinfection
Ozone Disinfection
Ozone is an unstable gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is a very high energy form of oxygen (O2) found in the diatomic atmosphere. We can state the difference between oxygen and ozone molecules as follows. Ozone gas appears in nature when ultraviolet rays from the sun break down oxygen in the atmosphere or when lightning breaks down oxygen. Since ozone gas is heavier than air, it descends to the earth and cleans the air naturally.
The smell we feel, especially on rainy or stormy days, is the most concentrated form of ozone on earth. In areas close to ground levels, it is present as smoke at concentrations of one particle O3 per 10 million air particles (=0.1 PPM =200 mg/m). At an altitude of 2000 meters, it decreases much further to 0.03 -0.04 PPM. Thus, it is of great importance in terms of protecting living things on earth. Ozone gas oxidation is very high and is widely used because it is the strongest known disinfectant and does not leave any residue harmful to the human body compared to other disinfection methods.
Ozone gas is much stronger than other disinfectant methods. Ozone Disinfection Systems have a destructive effect on all known types of viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast and mold by breaking down the cell walls of organisms.
