What is Ozone?
What is ozone? Ozone (O³) is a gas composed of 3 oxygen atoms combined in a ring. Ozone itself is a blue coloured gas, which has a distinct odour, and is about one and a half times heavier than air. When it is under pressure, it is an unstable gas that decomposes readily into molecular oxygen.
Ozone molecules wipe out unwanted odours and render the air clean and fresh before reverting back to oxygen. Ozone is created in nature during a thunderstorm, but it cannot be stored – for deodourrising and anti-bacterial applications it must be physically generated on site. Ozone is the world’s second most powerful steriliser and is highly effective at destroying viruses, bacteria and odours.
It is most likely that you will have heard ozone mentioned in relation to the ozone layer, where it is created by the ultra violet rays from the sun when a wavelength of 254 nm (nanometres) hits oxygen atoms.
