OZONE DECON BENEFITS Ozone is the most powerful and fastest treatment available to neutralize biohazards through oxidation. During ozone's natural decomposition process, it also forms the hydroxyl radical, which has an even higher oxidation potential than ozone. When surface wetting is acceptable, ozone should always be delivered as an aqueous suspension. Water delivers ozone where it is required and largely keeps the ozone in the water to neutralize pathogens. In the case of spores, water also assures necessary softening of the spore to greatly enhance the oxidation process. Selected Publications Inactivation of Bacillus anthracis Spores, Whitney, et. al., 2003 Reviewed publications from 1930 – 2002. Provides comparative study of efficacy of chemical, gaseous, and radiative methods to inactivate Bacillus spores.

Ozone found to be very effective, especially when used with high relative humidity. 3 log inactivation was obtained within 4 hours. Surface effects (carpet vs. hard surfaces) were also investigated. _______________________________________________ The Practical Application Of Ozone Gas As An Antimicrobial Agent, Sharma, Manju; Hudson, James Susceptibilities of 15 different medically important bacteria to gaseous ozone are tested.
