Ozone Effect on Pathogens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As a biocide, ozone works similarly to chlorine (another oxidant<\/a>) and is used in a similar manner.\u00a0 Ozone disinfects by directly oxidizing and destroying the microorganism\u2019s cell wall, causing cellular components to leak outside the cell. This causes protoplasmic destruction of the cell, damaging constituents of the nucleic acids, and breaks the carbon\u2013nitrogen bonds, which leads to depolymerization. During the process, ozone splits into oxygen and an ozone atom, which is lost during the reaction with the microorganism\u2019s cell fluids, O3 -> O2 + (O).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link below provides list of pathogens ozone has been tested with: https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/ozone\/pathogens.html<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are links to papers published by the International Ozone Association on the use of ozone to eliminate viruses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Development of a Practical Method for Using Ozone Gas as a Virus Decontaminating Agent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ht<\/strong>tps:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01919510902747969<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Vitro Inactivation of Herpes Virus by Ozone:<\/strong>h<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01919512.2013.862165<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ozone Therapy in Patients with Viral Hepatitis C: Ten Years’ Experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01919512.2012.720161<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Factors Increasing the Ozone Inactivation of Enteric Viruses in Effluent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01919512.2013.874275<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Effects of Different Treatments on the Inactivation of Various Seedborne Viruses in Some Vegetables:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01919512.2013.874275<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wastewater Disinfection : Elimination of Fecal Bacteria and Eneric Viruses By Ozone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/01919518208550945<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degradation of RNA Constitutents and Tobacco Mosaic Virus RNA with Ozone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/01919518108550906<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Use of MS2 Coliphage as a Surrogate for Enteric Viruses in Surface Waters Disinfected with Ozone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/01919519308552490<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n We supply a wide variety of ozone water systems that can supply aqueous ozone to be used for pathogen elimination.
