Ozon disinfection is swiftly gaining popularity as a cleaning agent.
Due to its very strong oxidising properties, ozone is an extremely effective biocide that is commonly used in the disinfection of various types of facilities and rooms. Studies show that ozone disinfection has up to 50 times better results than disinfection with chlorine. At the same time, this method of treatment is fully ecological and, with basic precautions, completely safe for the environment, people and animals.
Ozone in well-ventilated spaces is a vital source of disinfection. It bonds to and breaks down viruses, bacteria, and other harmful pathogens.
Lab research backs up the use of ozone disinfection against SARS-CoV-2, or Covid-19. Ozone could be as good a line of defense as alcohol, bleach, and other disinfectants.There’s other research backing up these claims. An NIH-funded study found that ozone had the potential to eliminate 99 percent of the virus when used as a disinfectant.
Due to its properties and biocidal effectiveness, ozone disinfection works well in places and facilities such as:
single-family houses and apartments,hotels, restaurants, shopping malls,hospitals, doctor’s offices, laboratories,warehouses and production halls,food, document, industrial machinery,drinking water and sewage.However, this is not the end of the story. Car services use ozone to disinfect and de-fungify air conditioning installations, and to clean and refresh the cabin. Ozonation of cars in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic has also become a common practice for car rental companies to decontaminate their vehicles.
Is ozone for disinfection safe?
While maintaining the basic safety rules and provided the rooms are properly prepared, disinfecting the apartment with ozone is completely safe. Remember to take the animals out of the room before starting ozonation. You should also not stay inside during disinfection. Once decontamination is completed, the interiors still need to be thoroughly aired out before they can be used again.
