Ozone is O3, a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. Ozone is a gas that is low density and colorless under normal temperature.Ozonized water is created by adding ozone to water. The oxidation powers of ozonized water make it an extremely strong disinfectant with many applications. Additionally, ozone removes odor by destroying the molecules, bacteria, and spores that cause unpleasant smells. Ozone is a highly reactive molecule and is very quick to chemically react with particles that it comes into contact with on the air and on surfaces. The extra oxygen atom in the ozone attaches itself to other molecules, chemically changing their structure to create non-offensive molecules.
Ozone is a combination of 3 atoms. When one of the atoms is released, a chemical reaction in organic matters occurs that can:(1) Kill Escherichia coli (e. coli) Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Enteropathogenic and Shigella dysenteries which exist in air and water.(2) Decompose and cleans toxic gas found in factories, car exhausts and cigarette smoke.(3) Keep fish and meat fresh.(4) Decompose residue of agrichemicals on fruits and vegetables.(5) Decompose chloride found in tap water.(6) Bathing with ozone enriched water can keep one's skin healthy and smooth.(7) Deodorize kitchen and bathrooms.(8) Clean polluted waste water.(9) Break down radiation from TV and computer monitors.Researches by American scientists have also found that cancer cell activities become slower after being in contact with ozone, justifying the wide application of ozone in our day to day life.
When mentioning ozone many people think of the earth's protective layer which protects us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. The same ozone is used in many countries to remove bacteria in drinking water, detoxify the air and as treatment for agricultural products. It is important to know how to properly use ozone in order to stay safe and protect the environment.Ozone's strength increases when it is mixed with water. This allows ozone to kill bacteria even faster. Furthermore, using ozone as a sterilizer does not create secondary pollution. It leaves little trace of pollutants on water, air, food and utensils.This is an advantage unmatched by average cleaners. ERDEN's patented machinery is capable of producing ozone from the oxygen molecules present in the air. Through evenly mixing ozone molecules with water ERDEN's Ozone Antibacterial Sanitizer creates ozonized water with extraordinarily high oxidization powers. The bacteria-killing power of this ozonized water makes it nature's sanitizer.
It has been reported that tap water with a 0.5 ppm chlorine content can be used to kill bacteria and remove pesticides. However, these reports fail to mention that in order to achieve such a result water temperature must be below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius). Chlorine will evaporate at higher temperatures thus rendering tap water unable to remove pesticides and kill bacteria. It is extremely difficult (and uncomfortable) for the average user to use water below 41 degrees to wash food. Food purchased from supermarkets may not have been thoroughly cleaned and may contain bacteria. If it is not cleaned well bacteria such as salmonella and e. coli can cause diarrhea and infection if consumed. According to Yang Ming Medical University test reports ERDEN's Ozone Antibacterial Sanitizer is capable of removing 99% of salmonella in 10 seconds. In order to achieve similar results with similar concentrations of chlorine, food would need to be washed for 15,000 seconds.
Odors are composed of molecules, just like any other bacteria and mold. Ozone releases oxygen atoms and removes odors by destroying the molecules, bacteria and spores that cause unpleasant smells. Ozone is a hightly reactive molecule and is very quick to chemically reat with particles that it comes into contact with in the air and on surfaces. The extra oxgen atom in the ozone attaches itself to other molecules, chemically breaking down their structure to create non-offensive molecules and eliminate the smell. This causes the original odor-causing agents to become substances that do not carry the foul odor.
The average person can smell ozone at 0.03 - 0.04 ppm. At 0.6 ppm some may have a minor sore throat or coughing. ERDEN's Ozone Antibacterial Sanitizer has been proven to limit dispersion to under 0.01 ppm, well under the OSHA tolerance level of 0.05 ppm. Furthermore, the sanitizer system has an automatic power-off feature to automatically turn off the unit after ten minutes of inactivity. This prevents release of ozone into the air. The sanitizer is proven safe through SGS test results.
The answer is no. Ozone is a highly safe and effective Oxidizing sterilizer. There is no residue and it does not cause environmental pollution. Unlike other chemical cleaning agents, Ozone returns itself to oxygen very quickly and does not cause a threat to our environment but keeps the water clean and the air fresh.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are organic and release a ripening agent from which bacteria would grow and cause them to rot later. Ozone oxidizes and destroys the ripening agent and causes it to break down so that fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer.
Ozone dissolved in water and used for bathing will keep the skin young and supple. The skin and the blood vessels are able to absorb fresh air and speed up our bodily metabolism. Furthermore, the tiny bubbles created are smaller than skin pores. This allows the bubbles to enter the skin and clean deep. This will also prevent us from oxygen deficiency during a hot bath and is being widely applied in Europe and America.
Alcohol, hypochlorous acid water, and ozone water are three widely used disinfectants, each with its features and applications.Alcohol
Alcohol is for quick, on-the-go disinfection, primarily used for surface disinfection and hand sanitization. It acts quickly and is particularly effective at breaking down the protein shells of bacteria and viruses. It is widely used in medical and daily disinfection. However, alcohol can be corrosive to certain materials and is highly flammable, especially in high-temperature environments. Proper safety precautions are essential during use.Hypochlorous Acid Water
Hypochlorous acid water, a common disinfectant in tap water, is derived from chlorine dissolving in water, forming hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions. Known for its strong disinfectant properties, it is often used for water purification and surface disinfection. The residual chlorine it generates effectively inhibits microbial growth but may leave a disinfectant odor. Additionally, boiling it can produce harmful substances such as trichloromethane.Ozone Water
Ozone water utilizes ozone for water purification and offers excellent disinfection, detoxification, deodorization, and bleaching capabilities. Widely adopted in advanced European and American water systems, it offers superior sterilization compared to chlorine. Once its work is done, ozone breaks down into oxygen and dissolves in water, leaving no residues, odors, or harmful substances. This makes it a natural and environmentally friendly choice for water purification and surface cleaning.Comparison and Recommendations
Each of the three disinfectants has its pros and cons. The best choice depends on specific needs and usage environments. For a more natural, safe, and non-toxic disinfection and cleaning method, ozone water is a highly effective solution.
