Air and environments

In July 1996, with Protocol 24482, the Ministry of Health has recognized the ozone as: "Presidium for the sterilization of natural environments."
In addition, the existing provisions on occupational safety (D. Lgs. 626/94) and hygiene (HACCP 155/97) provide for a safe and healthy working environment.


The air is essential for life and it is often a vehicle of infection for humans and animals. The microbial air pollution is an issue of great relevance to public health, but also for the food industry (both for the environmental and food application). Air treatment with ozone is an important goal because it is able to provide different results, which can range from simple to complete disinfection and sterilization of air; at the same time it ensures the total absence of chemical residues.
The environments, especially public, are attended by large numbers of people and their presence increases the chances of spreading viruses, bacteria (including Legionella) and that can spread rapidly some diseases such as influenza, colds, infections of the mucous membranes and allergies. Sterilization of these environments is therefore of paramount importance and ozone has proved a viable alternative to treat these environments, and it is certainly cheaper than traditional methods that use chemicals.
The air and surface sterilization by ozone concerns both private and public environments such as schools, kindergartens, gymnasiums, medical facilities, testing laboratories, shopping malls, airports, offices, containers, hotels and restaurants. Also the aerodynamic circuits (conducted by the central water treatment in the jet and speakers) should be cleaned and sanitized, because they constitute essential requirements for protection of human health.
Ozone sterilizes and sanitizes rooms, curtains, fabrics and surface environments quickly and without leaving any odors (such as smoking) or toxic compounds. Ozone is heavier than air and is able to penetrate hard to reach hidden areas and other products.
Thanks to these characteristics, it is able to penetrate deeply into the conduct of conditions, eliminating bacteria and viruses in a definitive manner, without releasing any odor.
Even health spas and sports facilities need cleaning and sterilization treatments. Water showers and toilets of these plants may be infected by different organisms, including legionella. In addition, infections can be easily transmitted through contaminated surfaces, or from person to person, especially when these areas are very crowded.
In environments and wet surfaces (tools gyms), fungus are easily formed.
Even in these environments sanitation and sterilization of the same by bacterial pathogens is essential.
Ozone is applied in the disinfection of water for nursing homes, hospitals, hotels, spas, gyms, spas, beauty centers, communities, restaurants.
