Ozone As An Odour Destroyer
What is Ozone?
Ozone occurs naturally in the environment. It is created during thunder and lightning storms.
In nature, oxygen is released from plants and sea plankton during photosynthesis. Oxygen floats upward into the atmosphere and in turn is converted into activated oxygen by ultraviolet radiation. When you look up at the sky, the ozone layer is what makes it blue. It blocks out the harmful UV rays that cause skin cancer. Ozone is often associated with the fresh smell of the great outdoors.
It is also created electronically or through ultraviolet light by converting molecules of Oxygen (O2) into three molecules (O3). It is also referred to as activated oxygen, allotropic oxygen, triatomic oxygen or pure air.
Being an unstable gas, its life span is about 20 minutes, depending on the temperature. After completing its job, it reverts back to oxygen. This means it has to be produced on site.
It has a distinctive smell that has been used to purify water since 1893. The first time O3 was used in food preservation was in the early 1900's in a Cologne meat packing house.
It's use leaves no toxic by-products or residues and is non-carcinogenic. It is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, anti-tumor and antiviral. Ozone is second only to fluoride as the most powerful oxidizer or oxidant in the world for disinfecting. It's the most powerful, natural sanitizer readily available.

What It Does, How It Works
Ozone oxidizes any pollutant or contaminate with which it comes into contact, turning it into a safer compound.
Ozone slowly "burns" odour-causing substances, mould and reactive gases in the air and on surfaces of walls, floors, ceilings and furniture. It will break down most chemicals into that chemical's basic naturally-occurring component parts. After time they are eventually broken down into water, carbon dioxide, sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen. These elements are all naturally occurring substances needed for our survival.
Ozone is very effective, since it oxidizes, or completes, the incomplete process of oxidation that causes the formation of smoke and odor. Ozone deodorization results are permanent.
Ozone is delivered at a controlled rate into the atmosphere where it attaches itself to airborne and surface contaminants and destroys them by oxidation. It is necessary to evacuate all life forms in the area during treatment.
Ozone is one of our most efficient deodorization tools. It is permanently effective on many types of odours, "self-neutralizing", leaves no long-term residue, and has been reported to have anti-microbial properties.
Ozone not only eliminates unpleasant odours, it also sanitizes the air and surfaces within rooms.
