How can ozone be used against viruses?
Implementing solutions that will neutralize viruses in shopping malls, plazas, workplaces, public transportation vehicles and all closed areas where there is a possibility of pandemics will minimize the negative effects of the pandemic on our lives.
The World Health Organization has declared to the world public that inhaling 0.05 ppm ozone and 0.10 ppm ozone for 8 hours is not harmful to health.
Continuous supply of ozone at the specified values in any environment will not harm health and will ensure the destruction of many bacteria and viruses.
It has been published in hundreds of scientific articles describing how long ozone is effective on which bacteria and viruses. We would like to inform you that Thailand Medical Academy has announced that the resistance of microorganisms in the coronavirus group against ozone is 0.3 seconds.
Ozone obtained with advanced technology can be applied in two stages in order to prevent the transmission of viruses and bacteria by air. In the first stage, when people are present, low amounts of ozone can be given to the environment, providing protection throughout the day. In the second stage, full sterilization can be achieved by giving high amounts of ozone to the environment when people are not present. It is possible to do these two applications with the same ozone unit.
It is very easy to apply ozone sterilization in buildings where a central ventilation system is used, such as shopping malls, plazas, hotels, workplaces, residences. For this, it is sufficient to install an industrial type ozone unit in the fresh air duct in the central ventilation system. Thus, protection against bacteria and viruses in the entire building can be provided during working hours and full sterilization can be made outside of working hours. It is possible to apply ozone in different versions based on the ventilation and air conditioning systems of the buildings.
Ozone is the nightmare of viruses. Viruses and bacteria have no chance to survive in the presence of ozone.
Ozone gas does not contain any chemicals. It leaves no residue. The moment it meets with oxygen, it turns back into oxygen. With the ozone sensors that have been developed and used today, it is possible to keep ozone under control at predicted values. In addition, ozone, which has a distinctive pungent odor, is immediately perceived by the nose when it concentrates above the prescribed amount in any environment. The sharp odor of ozone is a warning sign. The person who smells the sharp ozone can prevent health problems that may occur by removing himself from the ozone environment.
The fact that ozone applied with the correct engineering approach will be beneficial as opposed to being harmful to human health will be approved by the official authorities as soon as possible, this will minimize the serious losses and damages that the pandemic that affects the world can cause for our country and our people.
