Where Does Ozone Come From?

When people think of ozone they most likely think of a thin layer of ozone way out in our atmosphere that protects us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Down here closer to earth, ozone is created naturally when sunlight or lightning adds an extra oxygen atom to some of the O2 molecules in the air. Some of this ozone is then infused into rain drops, resulting in aqueous ozone. It is one of nature's most powerful oxidizers (second only to elemental flourine). Aqueous ozone can safely be used as a replacement for traditional chemical cleaners and kills all known food and human pathogens.

 

Ozone Regulatory History

Aqueous ozone (the process of turning water into a powerful cleaner) has been used commercially for over a century and is now widely used to sanitize drinking water, fresh produce, beverage bottles, swimming pools and surgical instruments. Because of its power, purity and regulatory approvals, aqueous ozone is the sanitizer of choice for the bottled water industry.

 

 

 

 

Ozone (O3) Powerful Sanitizer

• Effectively deodorizes, disinfects and destroys bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold and allergens

• Is made up of three oxygen atoms and is readily found in nature

• Has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties

• Rapidly oxidizes bacteria it comes in contact with, then converts safely back into Oxygen (O2)
