Ozone bactericidal effects are by now out of discussion and backed up by the many experiments and studies done by scientists throughout the world.

Ozone has the capability of cleaning the air, freeing it from dust, pollen, lint, harmful gases like adhesives, and unwanted particles in general. It destroys odors like cigar smoke, food, pet urine, etc. Removes harmful elements from any source of air contamination. Increases the production of anions through the generation of negative ions which are especially important to improve the indoor air quality. And, particularly important too, is the ability of doing all this without leaving any residue since ozone goes back to its original oxygen form after 20-30 minutes.

How Ozone Affects Viruses
Viruses are small, independent particles, built of crystals and macromolecules. Unlike bacteria, they multiply only within the host cell. Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA. At higher concentrations, ozone destroys the capsid or exterior protein shell by oxidation.
