Methods of using ozone have been developed which sterilize instruments and medical wastes, oxidize, organics found in wastewater, clean laundry, break down contaminants in soil into a form more readily digested by microbes, kill microorganisms present in food products, and destroy toxins present in food products. The preferred methods for killing microorganism and destroying toxins use pressurized, humidified, and concentrated ozone produced by an electrochemical cell.

Can ozone sterilize meat?

Yes and No. Ozone will kill bacteria and all pathogens on the meat if used correctly. Therefore ozone is a great anti-microbial agent. Important to remember: anti-microbial = reducing bacteria Sanitize = 3 log (or more) reduction in bacteria Sterilize = removal of all bacteria and life While ozone could potentially sterilze, it would be cost prohibitive to do so. The level of ozone in water, or air + contact time would be so high that no food plat would implement ozone for this use.


Ozone for killing termites will it work?

Probably not. Ozone is inactivated pretty quickly by many sorts of organic matter. Termite nests are very far underground, and may not have distant outlets that will let ozone gas through... However, it may destroy the chemical markers that help act as "road maps", and it may sterilize the colonies of fungus etc. that all insects depend on for survival. Worth trying...
