Redefining Veterinary Hygiene with Ozone Water
Safe, eco-friendly, and highly effective for disinfection and wound care.
Safe, eco-friendly, and highly effective for disinfection and wound care.
High energy (from ultraviolet ray or lightning) splits oxygen molecules into oxygen atoms.
The free oxygen atom react and form weak bond with another oxygen molecule to create an ozone molecule.
As ozone molecules react with organic molecules, the oxygen atom with the weak bond will be released, thus oxidising the organic matter.
Ozone molecule will reform into oxygen molecule (oxygen) after oxidizing the organic matter.
How Long Can Ozone Last?
Ozone has a short half-life, typically around 15 minutes at 25°C.
For example, after reaching 160 ppm in a treated space, it naturally decays to 80 ppm in 15 minutes and 40 ppm in 30 minutes. Ventilation significantly accelerates this process, reducing ozone levels to safe concentrations in just a few minutes in natural environments.
What Things Does Ozone Eliminate or Reduce?
Ozone effectively eliminates or reduces pesticides, bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, various chemicals, and organic odors.
Is Ozone Harmful, And Are There Long Term Effects?
Ozone is safe when used responsibly. While over-inhalation can be harmful, its proper application is recognized as effective and safe by authorities like the US FDA.
For example, since 1975, the FDA has approved ozone treatment as a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for bottled water. The regulation specifies a minimum concentration of 0.1 mg/L ozone in water for at least 5 minutes in enclosed systems (Federal Register 11566, Code 21 of Federal Regulations, Section 129.80 d.4, March 12, 1975).
Ozone should always be used with care and respect for its properties.
What Are The Applicable Regulations For Ozone Offgas?
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates ozone exposure with two limits:
These guidelines ensure safe exposure levels in occupational settings.
