A
Few FAQ's about Ozone
Excerpt from the Bangkok Post Newspaper, AUGUST 2005:
“…World Health Organization’s Mr. Krzyzanowski said fine particles are a
major contributor to respiratory problems, especially in children, the
elderly and people with existing illnesses. He said more cases may be
reported during the smoggy period but day-to-day pollution is a far
larger concern.”
1. IS OZONE SAFE?
| YES...if the Hi-Powered Ozone Treatment is conducted in
an UNOCCUPIED area. Constant exposure to Ozone above OSHA (Occupational
Safety and Health Agency) prescribed levels of .08ppm (Parts Per
Million) can cause effects such as headaches, sore throats, irritation
to eyes and nausea. These are not a problem with our Hi-Powered Ozone
Treatments! |
2. WILL ODORS RETURN AFTER THE TREATMENTS?
| NO not if the treatment is of a level high enough to
destroy the source of the initial problem. In the case of Mold and
Mildew pollutants, the odor will return if the source of the moisture
that has esulted in the Mold/Mildew is not dealt with. |
3. HOW LONG DOES OZONE LAST?
| As soon as the Ozone is generated it will be reverting back to
Oxygen. However, the Ozone will be breaking down quicker as it oxidizes
the bacteria, viral organisms and odor-producing by-products. Once the
offensive pollutants have been destroyed – and there is nothing for
Ozone to react with - the Ozone surplus will naturally disperse rapidly
owing to its very short half-life. Either way…our trained technicians
will not allow entry to an area until the Ozone has dissipated. |
4. WHAT IF SOMEONE ACCIDENTALLY ENTERS AN AREA
WHILE THE OZONE IS AT HIGH LEVELS?
| There is an instant and recognizable warning that there is a
high level of Ozone present – a strong ‘electrical’ type smell such as
that given off by a photocopier. Should an individual begin to
experience irritation of eyes and nose, or begin to feel nauseous, these
symptoms quickly disappear after leaving the High-Ozone area and
returning to normal air conditions. |
5.
ARE THERE OTHER PRODUCTS/MACHINES ON THE MARKET?
| Yes…there are many companies offering a ‘healthy air
environment’ and to ‘rid your home of harmful pollutants’ while you are
in the same room. What these companies fail to mention is NO
OZONE-PRODUCING DEVICE that is designed for use whilst human beings are
present has anywhere near enough power to supply our advertised
benefits! In addition to the erroneous claims of these lowlevel output
machines, research has shown a high prevalence of eye, nose and throat
irritation experienced by individuals being exposed to these machines
constantly. If you want to buy ozone generators click here. |
6. HOW DOES OZONE HANDLE CIGARETTE SMOKE?
| It eliminates the irritation caused by the invisible phenol
gases given off by cigarettes. The third molecule of Ozone quickly
identifies the Phenol gas and goes to work oxidizing – killing – it on
contact! |
7. WHAT DOES OZONE KILL?
| The list is too long to display here, but examples of common
organisms oxidized by Ozone are as follows: SARS virus, Herpes virus,
Diphtheria, Cholera, Anthrax, Enterovirus, Streptococcus Bacteria and
Pseudomonas (the causers of some skin complaints). In addition to
airborne and surface dwelling pathogens listed above, Ozone will destroy
the food source of the common dust-mite. This is especially important
when contemplating sleeping in a bed in the company of over 2,000,000 of
these allergycausing arthropods! |
8. WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE OZONE OVER OTHER
TRADITIONAL CLEANING/DISINFECTING METHODS?
| Ozone is scientifically proven to be one of the most effective
disinfectant and de-odorizing methods known to man! Yes, there are other
chemical products that have been traditionally used to temporarily
eradicate and mask odors and bacterial problems, but NOTHING comes close
to Ozone’s capability to destroy a complicated mix of bacterial,
chemical, viral and otherwise problematic pollutants! In addition to the
inferior capabilities of chemical products, there is the obvious
inherent problem of replacing one biological irritant (the thing you
want to kill) with a man made irritant (the chemical used to kill the
thing you want dead)! |
