It is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. I do liken it to "fire without heat". # Ozone in the ozone layer protects us from UV-B from our Sun. # Ozone in industry modifies surface characeristics of plastic, allowing for inks to be applied. # Ozone in water treatment acts as a floccing agent (filter aid), an oxidant (taste and odor), and a primary sterilant. # Ozone in dentistry serves as a sterilant for oral treatments. # Ozone in medicine serves as a sterilant, and in repair of various forms of ligaments / spine discs. # Ozone produced by marigold roots fights off attacks by things like nematodes. # Ozone produced by white blood cells fights off infections (and inflammation results). # Ozone is used in homes and by Nature to "freshen" the air. It is however a pollutant, so care must be taken when applying it to a space people will be in. # Ozone is used in fire and / or water damaged structures to remove smell / mold, to allow occupancy.
