Ozone generators are commonly used in water treatment and sterilization of air and equipment. Ozone is an unstable oxygen molecule (O3) that reacts to anything it bumps into. Because O3 can react with and break down anything it comes in contact with, it makes this chemical very effective for removing odours and killing mold and mildew. O3 can be used to remove iron and manganese from water, forming a precipitate that can be filtered off. O3 will also oxidize dissolved hydrogen sulfide in water to sulfurous acid. These three reactions are central in the use of ozone-based water treatment. O3 will also detoxify cyanides by converting them to cyanates. O3 will also completely decompose urea. It can also be used for bleaching substances and for killing microorganisms in air and water sources.
Please Note:
Unfortunately, the very thing that makes ozone so effective at removing odours also makes it dangerous. If it is present in high enough concentrations to eliminate bad smells, then it is also reacting with your skin, eyes, lungs, and other exposed areas and causing harm. It has a pleasant smell, but if you can smell it, it reacts with you and can cause long-term damage to your respiratory system.
If it's inhaled, ozone reacts with compounds in your body and can harm your lungs. Even small amounts of ozone can cause coughing, shortness of breath, chest pains, and throat irritation. Ozone can inflame and damage your airway, make your lungs more susceptible to infection and aggravate existing breathing and lung conditions. It can even increase asthma attacks and cause Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. Everyone is at risk, but anyone with asthma or certain vitamin deficiencies, children or older adults has a greater chance of exposure problems. The longer you are exposed to ozone, the worse the damage to your respiratory system will be.
