Ozone is a trivalent form of oxygen. Simply put it is supercharged OXYGEN!
Ozone is a very active bluish gas and a powerful oxidizing agent. It is formed when oxygen is subjected to electrical lightning. In the atmosphere, it is formed in the presence of ultraviolet radiation of solar origin and other chemicals that act as catalysts, that is involved in the reaction but are not changed. It is used for purification of air and water, in the treatment of industrial waste and as bleach.
Ozone in the atmosphere is an effective greenhouse gas. It is found mainly in the stratosphere, forming the ozone layer between 10 and 50 km from earth. The existence of stratospheric ozone was noted in 1880 and first detected in 1913. Ozone is also found in smaller amounts in the troposphere, particularly in urban and busy industrial areas and in regions where major fires usually occur, for example, burning forests and tropical savannas. Tropospheric ozone monitoring surface began in 1860.
Ozone in the stratosphere greatly limits the incidence of solar ultraviolet radiation on the earth's surface, allowing plant and animal life to be possible. Hence its importance and the urgent need to control the emission of chlorinated contaminants that reduce global stratospheric ozone content and give rise to the so-called ozone ‘hole’ in the polar regions of the planet.
In the 1830’s, the scientific world has been astounded by the discovery of Ozone by Christian F. Schonbein and its amazing action on the molecular structure of chemicals, compounds, and living cells. There is also scientific evidence that ozone has managed to kill off the feared HIV and AIDS viruses in vitro in animals and humans alike.
In conclusion, ozone is an 'intelligent gas' that will attack viruses, bacteria, fungi, toxins and destroy (oxidise) it without affecting the good bacteria, and the body's natural defense system.
