We’ve all seen the headlines, “Ozone advisory. You are advised not to go outside, especially the old and young, due to high ozone smog levels”. That’s the headline, the sound bite that we remember. We’ve also heard ozone called a “toxic gas” by health professionals, seen it vilified in billboards request us to “O-liminate Ozone” by filling up our cars at night instead of while hot summer days. Yet we’ve also heard that ozone is used to purify municipal water, treat cancer in many countries of the world, and get rid of smoke and mold damage when used by trained resumption contractors. So what gives? Is ozone smog, pollution, a toxic gas or is it a water and air cleaner?

The reply to that interrogate is more involved than a uncomplicated “yes” or “no”. Ozone, like oxygen, like water, like hydrogen or any other naturally occurring thing can be harmful or beneficial depending on how it is used. Many things that are “good” can kill us in excess. Water comes to mind. You’ve probably heard of habitancy dying from drinking too much water too fast yet staying properly hydrated is critical for good health. Does that make water “toxic”? Their is a long list of “good” things that in excess can kill us, and ozone is one of them.
Water Purifier System
Everyone can agree that breathing high levels of ozone is detrimental to our health, especially our lungs. What about breathing low levels of ozone? Can injecting small amounts of ozone into the air absolutely promote good health? The reply is yes according to studies conducted at the Academy of curative Sciences in Russia, Two doctors and researchers, Dr. Gubernskii and Dr. Dmitriev found that 0.005ppm (parts per million) to 0.02 ppm of ozone added to general indoor air with no ozone increased animals’ resistance to colds, infections, to toxic substances, and to oxygen deprivation. That’s a good thing! I quote, “A general increase in the immune “biological potential” and the vital capacity of the lung function” was reported as to the suspect why. Other doctors in Russia, where ozone is embraced and used with a high success rate by the curative establishment, also performed tests utilizing less than.01 ppm of ozone in an air-conditioned office building to see the effects on the inhabitants. The tests revealed that “the office dwellers levels of oxygen in the blood increase relatively quickly and remained at a higher levels for the period of the experiment.” Since cancers cannot survive oxygen rich environments in our body, increasing our bodies oxygen level is a very good thing. Russian doctors have also stated that: “Atmospheric ozone has a confident corollary on animals and people. It is prominent to note its confident corollary on the breathing system, blood composition, arterial pressure, immune system, general feeling of well-being, and thinking and bodily work capability. The ozone-ion involved is a critical component of fresh air that gives it a curative effect.” I guess these seeing shouldn’t surprise anything since our bodies are made to handle oxygen quite efficiently, and the more oxygen we get, the better. This same study, featured in the Russian journal Priroda, also reported a vast decrease in complaints of stuffiness from the office occupants. (3.8 times fewer complaints). Yet another Russian study performed to see how adding small amounts of ozone to the air was at enhancing indoor air potential in schools reported that respiratory-related illnesses were drastically improved after the ozone systems were installed. The ozone attention produced by the systems was a mere 0.015 ppm (parts per million).
