What Is Ozone

THE MEDALLION HEALTHY HOMES TREATMENT
Ozone Shock Therapy

Ozone is a pale blue, unstable gas that is very active. It is an unstable molecule consisting of 3 atoms; whereas normal oxygen has 2 atoms of oxygen. Because the ozone molecule is so unstable, it quickly breaks away from the other oxygen atoms. This lone ozone atom goes in search of other atoms. If it finds a carbon or sulfur molecule, it will break into that molecule destroying it in the process. Since all indoor air pollutants are carbon based, ozone will attack it, leaving only oxygen in its place.

A trained technician will perform the ozone purification process by placing several ozone generators in the home for a minimum of 4 hours, (times vary due to different situations) during which time, any carbon based odors, viruses, bacteria, all allergens and chemical compounds are oxidized and rendered non-viable. The technician will then evacuate (approx. 1 hour) the area with industrial fans until the ozone has returned to a safe level. In just a short period of time, you return to a healthier indoor environment that smells as fresh as a recent rainfall.

Good Ozone ~ Bad Ozone
Good ozone is not to be confused with smog, which is commonly referred to as ozone. Low level or surface ozone (smog) is formed when oxygen combines with volatile organic compounds (nitrogen oxides from motor vehicle and power plant emissions, solvents, etc.) which then chemically react in the presence of sunlight and warmth.

Good ozone is produced by lightning (that “fresh air smell” after a storm) and by ultra-violet radiation; it purifies our environment naturally. Ozone gas purifies the air, leaving oxygen in its place.

June 26, 2001 ~ The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amends the food additive regulations to provide the safe use of OZONE in gaseous and aqueous phases as an antimicrobial agent on food, including meat and poultry.
