THE HISTORY OF OZONE
Ozone, sometimes called active oxygen, is comprised of three atoms of
oxygen. Ozone is a natural purifier and one of nature’s basic elements.
Ozone is produced in nature when the ultraviolet rays of the sun strike
oxygen molecules. When this occurs high in the atmosphere it creates what
we know as the “ozone layer”. Because the oxygen molecules absorb the
sun’s energy, living things on earth are protected from the damaging and
potentially cancer-causing rays of the sun. Nature also produces ozone
near the earth’s surface, especially during a thunderstorm, when lightning
flashes. The sweet, fresh smell after a thunderstorm is ozone.
Ozone will destroy viruses, bacteria, and virtually all other forms of microbes,
as well as break down chemical contaminants. It does this in both air and
water and does it without the use of chemicals or additives of any kind!
Ozone’s use as a water purifier was discovered in the late 1800’s in the
Netherlands. Its first large-scale use was in Nice, France where it was
used to purify drinking water. Today, more than thirty countries use ozone
systems to purify drinking water. In fact, Los Angeles has one of the larg-
est ozone water treatment plants in the world, processing more than 580
million gallons of city drinking water per day. This system was chosen over
a chlorine system due to ozone’s extraordinary ability to effectively purify
water without negative side effects. In addition, most of the world's bottled
water plants use ozone as part of their water purification process.
Ozone is also gaining tremendous popularity as an air purifier throughout
the world. Our homes and offices can be a source of environmental pollu-
tion. The EPA estimates that indoor pollution causes tens of thousands of
illnesses each year, and many more from contaminated water. Ozone is
the most effective way to purify your air and water.
Ozone is clearly superior to virtually all other forms of purification. When
you use the PORTABLE PURIFIER , you won’t have to purchase or store
any chemical or purification materials or change any filters. Everything you
need is generated within the small, lightweight, and portable unit. All this
for just pennies a day.
