Ozone is a powerful and versatile compound that already works for you in many ways, every day, to protect you from harm and make your life much better. Ozone is Supercharged Oxygen. It is a triatomic oxygen molecule, made up of 3 oxygen atoms. Ozone is made, using UV or electricity, directly from the oxygen in the air around us. Lightning, in a thunderstorm, makes copious amounts of ozone which then cleans the air in a huge area around thunderstorms by destroying airborne germs, mold, mildew, and pollen. It also neutralizes many industrial chemicals and smog that may also be present in the atmosphere. It’s one of Nature’s best ways of keeping the planet clean and healthy.
UV rays from the sun shine on oxygen in our atmosphere and create an ultra-thin layer of ozone in the far upper atmosphere. This ‘ozone layer’ acts as a powerful reflecting mechanism to block the sun’s UV rays and keeps them from frying everything on the planet.
Ozone is used to sanitize things like CPAP devices for your safety. Ozone is used in the fire restoration process to destroy smoke odors in clothes, curtains, pillows, sheets, towels, electronics, and all other items from a fire. Ozone is used to remove smoke and other odors from hotel rooms, automobile interiors, Churches, movie houses, etc. Ozone is used to sanitize Hospitals, clinics, and Government buildings (Court House, Post Office, DMV, shelter, etc.) after contamination with germs and viruses responsible for a multitude of illnesses like SARS, tuberculosis, anthrax, etc.
It is currently used in Las Vegas to recycle every drop of wastewater that goes down the drain by cleaning and sanitizing it, so it can be used again as drinking water – yes, you heard that right. Currently, the largest ozone installation in the world is at a water treatment facility for the City of Los Angeles. Ozone is extremely effective, totally natural, and creates no industrial by-products in its creation or use.
It is what makes fire burn and so much more. It is what keeps us alive. Just try living more than 3 or 4 minutes without it! Ozone is Supercharged Oxygen! It really does the job.
