Best Answer

UV-B and more energetic radiation. In doing so, it breaks down into its components, something like: O3 + energetic light -> O + O2 Ozone and ultraviolet (UV-C or UV-B) in the air, produces mostly hot oxygen. Ozone and UV-A produces ozone, and the UV-A just moves on. Ozone and ultraviolet (UV-C or UV-B) in water produce one of the most powerful oxidizing systems available (better is to add some TiO2 slurry), and is referred to as "Advanced Oxidation".
