OZONE SHOCK TREATMENT - EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA

 What Is Ozone?

Ozone is made up of one thing: Oxygen. Ozone in nature is that fresh, clean scent after a thunderstorm; it is nature's way of cleaning and sanitizing. Ozone as a sterilizing agent is the most powerful cleaning agent available today.

UV

The air in the stratosphere is continuously being bombarded with UV radiation from the sun. When high energy UV rays strike molecules of oxygen (O²), the oxygen is split; causing two single oxygen atoms (O¹). The free oxygen atoms (O¹) then combine with oxygen molecules (O²) to create ozone (O³).

Brief Overview of How Ozone Works
When ozone (O³) comes in contact with a pathogen, such as an odor, bacteria or virus, the extra oxygen atom breaks off, attaching to the pathogen. Once the pathogen comes in contact with the ozone (O³) it is destroyed.

Benefits
Ozone is 51% more effective against bacteria (E.Coli, Salmonella, etc.) than chlorine and other chemical sanitizers

Ozone kills toxic substances 3,000 times faster than chlorine

Ozone destroys pesticides and chemical residues; even chlorinated by-products

Kills viruses and bacteria (including E.Coli and Salmonella) on surfaces

Disinfect laundry in hospitals, food factories, care homes, doctor offices, day cares, nursing homes,  etc;

Disinfect water in place of chlorine

Deodorize air

Kill bacteria on food or on contact surfaces

Sanitize swimming pools and spas

Scrub yeast and mold spores from the air in food processing plants;

Wash fresh fruits and vegetables to kill yeast, mold and bacteria; Relieve Allergies

Chemically attack contaminants in water (iron, arsenic, hydrogen sulfide, nitrites, and complex organics lumped together as "colour");

Eradicate water borne parasites such as Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium in surface water treatment plants.

Ozone extends the shelf life of food products

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, ozone is the most effective primary disinfectant available for drinking water

Ozone is environmentally friendly – Converts back to oxygen

Ozone is produced on site – no need for transporting, handling or storing hazardous materials

Ozone has been FDA approved for direct-food contact since 2001

Ozone is proven for Surface Sanitation

What Does Ozone Do?

Ultraviolet Light - Ozone is an unstable compound generated by the exposure of oxygen molecules to a high energy electrical discharge.

The weak bond holding ozone's third oxygen atom is what causes the molecule to be unstable and thus, very effective.

An oxidation reaction occurs upon any collision between an ozone molecule and a molecule of an oxidizable substance (i.e. bacteria, fungi (mold & yeast), viruses, forms of iron & manganese…)

The weak bond splits off leaving oxygen as a by-product. During an oxidation reaction, organic molecules are changed and dissolved metals are made no longer soluble.

Purdue University finds that ozone kills, mold, mold mycotoxins and insects.
