Is Ozone Safe?
One of the most common questions we get asked is about ozone safety.
Yes, when used properly, like anything else, ozone is safe.
You may have read a report by a federal or state agency warning to be careful of the danger of too much ozone. It is extremely important to understand what these warnings mean.
There is no reason to fear ozone.
Yes, breathing in overly high ozone levels is not good for you.
But low levels of ozone are all around us, and are safe to breathe.
The distinction must be made of what the application of the ozone is for.
To remove serious odors, kill bacteria, and destroy mold it is important to perform
HIGH OZONE SHOCK TREATMENTS IN UNOCCUPIED ROOMS ONLY
One must make the distinction that a high ozone level in an UNOCCUPIED ROOM has
absolutely nothing to do with any of the warnings issued for ozone use concerning air purification.
When you are NOT in the room at the time, it is completely safe to use ozone at any level, as long as you wait until the ozone reverts back to oxygen to re-enter the room, which takes only about an hour or two.
Since ozone is made up entirely of oxygen it can only revert back to natural oxygen once the ozonation process is completed. Therefore while high levels of ozone are toxic, within a short time ozone reverts back to non-toxic oxygen.
So when you read about warnings concerning ozone understand that is only referring to overly high levels in OCCUPIED SPACES.
These warnings have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH UNOCCUPIED ROOM USE!
Our machines are designed to produce high levels of ozone when needed to perform
HIGH OZONE SHOCK TREATMENTS IN UNOCCUPIED SPACES ONLY
High ozone levels are an absolute MUST to kill bacteria, mold, and have the ability remove strong odors.
Remember unless you can achieve toxicity, in an UNOCCUPIED ROOM, you will NEVER be able to sanitize that room of mold and bacteria. The definition of toxicity means to kill. Without toxicity you cannot kill bacteria and mold.
