No, ozone will not kill produce.
Ozone is commonly used in food storage applications to prolong the shelf life of produce by killing bacteria and mold that will shorten the shelf life. Also, ozone will break down natural levels of Ethelyne from the fruit and slow the ripening process.
However, it is important to maintain a safe level of ozone and this will vary with produce to not negatively affect the produce. Ozone levels should always be below 0.5 ppm, and usually below 0.08 ppm, the OSHA level for human safety.
What else can I help you with?
Will chlorine atoms react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide?
Yes, chlorine atoms can react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide. This reaction can contribute to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
Is O3 a free radical?
O3 is ozone and is not a free radical. It may; however, produce free radicals.
What is an antonym of ozone?
"Ozone" has no antonym.
What gas molecule found in Earths atmosphere is made up of three oxygen atoms?
The gas molecule is ozone (O3). It is formed when oxygen (O2) molecules are split apart by ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere and then recombine to form ozone. Ozone helps to protect Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
When lightning converts oxygen gas O2 into ozone it is a physical change?
No, the conversion of oxygen gas (O2) into ozone (O3) by lightning is a chemical change because new molecules with different properties are formed. Physical changes do not involve the formation of new substances.
How do computers produce ozone?
Computers do not produce ozone. Ozone is typically generated by electrical discharge, such as lightning or specialized equipment like ozone generators. Computing devices themselves do not have the capability to generate ozone as a byproduct of their operation.
Will ozone kill ringworm spores?
Yes, ozone can. Ozone is a pollutant at ground level.
Can ozone kill ring worms?
Ring worm is a FUNGAL infection of the skin and not a "worm". Ozone can not kill it.
Will chlorine atoms react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide?
Yes, chlorine atoms can react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide. This reaction can contribute to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
Does ozone kill bananas?
No, ozone will not kill bananas if used in low levels. Ozone is used to prevent ripening of bananas and extend shelf life after they are picked. However, high levels of ozone could damage the banana.
Which season ozone produce less?
Winters produced less ozone. There is depletion in winters.
How do the humans effects the ozone?
Humans produce CFC's. These CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
Does gas kill the ozone layer?
Yes.
How industries can protect ozone layer depletion?
Industries can produce ozone friendly products. These products could help in saving ozone.
Will ozone machine kill fruit flies?
Yes, an ozone machine can kill fruit flies. However, that is not its main purpose. It's main purpose is to kill off bacteria like E.Coli.
In which plants is ozone formation expected?
Marigolds produce ozone in their roots to fight predation of their roots. Kudzu appears to produce ozone to clear an area for it to take over. Hopefully someone can comment how we might predict which plants will make ozone (and delete this sentence...).
What does ozone produce?
Ozone does not produce anything. Ozone layer blocks around 97% of the total radiation received by the earth. It acts as a blanket and keeps the atmosphere cool. It is responsible for the survival of life on earth.
