Ozone Air Purification is Environmental Friendly

Ozone(O3) is a molecule that oxidizes anything that comes in contact with it. This is great for removing odors, killing mold and mildew. In case if the house is flooded or has sewage backup, ozone air purification is used. This is the right technology used for these clean ups.

Professional studies said, Ozone is completely safe and effective when occurring within FDA and OSHA standards of 0.05 ppm (parts per million). In healthy and clean outdoor environments, ozone occurs between 0.02 ppm and 0.05 ppm. Ozone has not been found to be harmful to the lungs until occurring at concentrations of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm. However, it is very difficult to adjust most ozone air purifiers to produce the above mentioned amount of ozone.

Ozone is environmentally safe and was widely used in hospitals during the first of the 20th century and still is being used in European hospitals. In addition millions of air purification systems are in use both commercially and domestically.
