Ozone Sanitation Is Safe And Healthy For People And The Planet

By Brenda Howard


People are more aware of germs, and the diseases that result from them, than earlier generations were. They were not as careful about making sure food preparation areas were kept sanitized. It was not unusual for families to leave food out for an extended period, simply covering it and leaving it on the kitchen table for the next meal. Today most adults are concerned with sanitizing their environment, but are hesitant about the chemicals in products that accomplish that. Ozone sanitation is the solution for those concerned individuals.

Aqueous ozone is a liquid oxidizer that has many applications. It is three thousand times faster than bleach and is fifty times more effective. Chlorine can't compare to the power of this product which is three hundred times stronger. These statistics may seem almost frightening, but the liquid is perfectly safe for use and has been approved by numerous government agencies. Unlike harmful chemicals, ozone reverts to oxygen and water about forty-five minutes after use.

The oxidizer is environmentally friendly in addition to being powerfully effective. It has no harmful side effects on humans or plant life. Because it doesn't require heat, it reduces the energy necessary for many other products. The liquid leaves no byproducts. All that is left behind from the oxidation process is oxygen.

The Environment Protection Agency has approved this product along with only two other products of its kind, antibiotics and antiseptics. It has been approved for use as a disinfectant in commercial food preparation areas, and meets or exceeds the standards set by OSHA and the Underwriters Laboratory. The Model Aquatic Health Code governs the health and safety of swimming facilities, and the liquid meets all of its guidelines.

Swimming pools and water rides are a lot of fun and every summer visitors flock to them. They are a hotbed for germs and pathogens however, and it can be difficult to keep them completely disinfected. Salmonella and E.coli are commonly found in the water. These pathogens can cause serious infections and other physical complications.

This liquid works very effectively with cold water, which saves energy. It also makes it a great product for sanitation in areas where using hot water is either not in abundant supply or inconvenient to reach. This makes it excellent for sanitizing in outdoor areas and at remote locations.

Ozone also saves money. As stated it does not require the use of hot water to be effective. This saves energy. The liquid reduces the amount of time needed to disinfect surfaces, used in the food industry for example, and eliminates the necessity for rinse cycles and repeat cycles. This frees times for employees to work elsewhere which increases their work capacity, but not their workload.

Chemicals and additives may never be completely eliminated, but this product goes a long way in reducing the need for much of them. Most people prefer that their surfaces and surroundings be sanitized in the most natural way possible. In the end people are better served and so is the planet.
