Ozone
is now known to be one of the most powerful disinfectants and oxidants. It
kills microbial contaminates like E.coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Giardia and
Cryptosporidium more effectively than conventional disinfectants like
chlorine.
In fact, ozone kills E.coli
more than 3,000 times faster than chlorine, another popular but sometime
ineffective disinfectant.
When generated, it seeps into
crevices, carpets, drapes, furniture, and under beds where normal air currents
are minimal or non-existent.
When the extra oxygen atom
splits off from the ozone molecule, one of two things happen: disinfecting and
oxidation. As a disinfectant, these atoms quickly destroy the bacteria, mold,
mildew and the odors they cause when they come into contact, and leave behind
only pure oxygen.
