THE CHARACTERISTIC OF OZONE
Ozone which has the scientific name O³ is created by combining three oxygen atoms. It has a
high oxidising ability, which is effective for disinfecting and sterilising. It can kill most bacteria in
the water or in the air. It is accepted as a broad-spectrum, effective disinfectant and contains
ozone. Ozone is an important component of our atmosphere. Our atmosphere confines
0.01-0.04ppm of ozone, which balances the level of bacteria and mildew in nature. Ozone is
also created electrically in nature during active thunderstorms. The electrical discharge creates
that positive sweet smell that we understand as clean fresh air.
The molecule of ozone is inherently unstable and tries to break down into the oxygen molecule
as quickly as possible. This is what makes ozone such a great air and water cleaner. The
ozone molecules need to be combined with something in order to break down so that they end
up oxidising organic compounds and turn them into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Ozone
quickly breaks down into oxygen, it’s considerably less toxic than disinfectant chemicals like
chlorine. It has been called the cleanest oxidiser and disinfector.
