GENERAL
has been said and written about the goodness and necessity of using ozone decontamination processes air and water, as well as deodorization processes general, much less has been written on toxicity but there is also a bibliography on this subject. This has led several advanced countries to establish terms and within minimum and maximum human exposure to low concentrations of ozone and could be toxic at high concentrations and prolonged exposure periods, it really could say the same oxygen and gas is vital for humans. Today is no longer discussed at the congresses of ozone on whether or not to use in deodorization, but that the concentration ranges act on that smells and what are the maximum allowable concentration and is undisputed as the best disinfectant in drinking water facilities .
In general, chemical bibliographies, speaking of ozone toxicity concepts are mixed with solid and liquid states of ozone, states that virtually never used and which, like almost all gases, including oxygen, are toxic and lethal.
But in a gaseous state that is how it is used for decontamination, disinfection and deodorization of air and water, their toxicity depend on the concentration of ozone (O3) in the air we breathe. We stress that also occurs with oxygen and many other gases and chemicals that depending on the amount or concentration to breathe or drink is beneficial or detrimental to health.
BACTERICIDAL ACTION
highly bactericidal action of ozone is beyond doubt thanks to the many experiences on this application have been made.
Thus: FRANKLIN
MW, says: "The levels suitable for ventilation leads to a decrease in the content of bacilli in the atmosphere. In addition, small globules of mucus present bacteria to the action of ozone air in its strongest terms of vulnerability, so that, when expectorated by coughing, those projected in the air after the sneezing are the first to be destroyed. "(literal translation).
KUPFFER , says: "It is indicated the ozone for public toilets and for covered swimming pools. Furthermore, in the cold stores of slaughterhouses and the development of the butcher, ozone prevents the formation of mold "
deodorizing action
The ozone deodorizing action not is due to a simple effect of camouflage the smell, but it is a real destruction of that chemical.
The air in a closed environment, where there is lots of pedestrian traffic, the thinning will be declining oxygen content in . It has been shown that ozone concentrations of about 0.01 ppm, can reduce the number of air changes in any confined space.
BISBINI in 1964 states: "The ozone acts as a deodorant even at low concentrations (0.1 ~ 0.5 mg O3/m3) and its action is particularly noticeable in the neutralization of odors caused by organic substances"
SAVAZZINI in 1930 says: "An installation ozonated to work in a stable, well keep it odor-free, provides an excellent animal health status. (Literal translation).
HAINES in 1939 states:" The role Main ozone deodorization. Derobert
in 1954 says: "The ozone is used as a deodorant effective in the cheese industry, hospitals, tanneries." (Literal translation).
GILGEN AND WANNER in 1966 recognized: "That ozone has a deodorizing action, already evident at concentrations equal to 0.02 ~ 0.03 ppm (Translation literal).
Ozone, in short, due to its oxidizing power, destroys all kinds of unpleasant odors, taking the most action from the odors of organic origin. OTHER APPLICATIONS
is risky to give a full list of applications that ozone has, since more often they are finding new areas where its use solves problems that different industries had raised for several years. Notably
:
• public environments in general. • Disinfection and deodorizing
water.
• Cold stores.
• Food Preservation.
• Deodorization in general.
• Livestock.
• Therapeutic treatments.
• Elimination of diseases of the Air Conditioning. • Etc.
In any case it is true that a concentration of 0.1 ppm for people to have any kind of discomfort, not only have no complaints but, as already indicated, need not be seen odor of ozone.
When a system Air Conditioning has built a team of ozonation, which we can say is that the environment is much more "cool", relaxed and healthy, avoiding any type of contagious diseases Infectious which, inter alia through reduced absenteeism and staff workers. Between department stores, offices and industrial facilities worldwide ozonators countless examples of well done, which, remember, are those who, having obtained the desired results, the environment does not smell of ozone.
