What is Ozone?
It is the same stuff that was in the ozone hole. It is the same stuff which gives of that fresh clean smell after lightning but because the natural ozone rapidly decomposes it must be generated electrically on site.
Ozone is the trivalent form of oxygen, which in chemical terms is an oxidizing agent. This also means that it neutralizes most chemicals which are reducing agents, and these include almost all odors, volatile hydrocarbons and the like.
It also attacks microorganisms, this includes: Virus, Bacteria, Mold, Fungus and Mildew.
