Ozone kills all bacteria, viruses, pathogens and fungi upon contact.

Zero side effects.

Ozone is highly poisonous. Its OSHA TWA is 0.1 ppm, with an emergency short term exposure limit of 1 ppm. 50% human lethality is obtained at 50 ppm exposure for 30 minutes. It's also explosive, and highly unstable.

Whoa nelly fellas.

Ozone is used in lots of applications here in USA. Most of the bottled water is OZONATED. Atheltic swimming pools are increasingly being switched from chlorine to ozone for health reasons. I am working on a project where I am using ozone. Anything at a certain concentration is toxic.

Dear Professor. From the article on Ozone.

"LEL: . . Nonflammable Gas."

Nonflammable means it will not burn but ozone is a form of oxygen so it will support combustion.

But liquid ozone is a beautiful purple color, which makes up for a lot.

Ozone is a strong oxidizer; it is not explosive in itself, but will enthusiastically burn nearly anything.

I don't know if I'm more afraid of liquid fluorine or liquid ozone...not sure which is the more powerful oxidant...wow.
