What Is Ozone?
Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms (O3), with a delta negative and a delta
positive electric charge. The ozone molecule is very unstable and has a short half-life. Therefore,
it will decay after some time back into its original form of (O2) oxygen. Ozone or (O3) is
sometimes called “activated oxygen”, containing three atoms of oxygen rather than the two
atoms we normally breathe. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and can be
used to destroy bacteria, viruses and odours.
In essence ozone is nothing more than oxygen (O2), with an extra oxygen atom. In nature ozone
is produced by some chemical reactions. The most familiar example is of course the ozone layer,
where ozone is produced from the sun’s ultra-violet (UV) rays. But ozone is also produced by
thunderstorms and waterfalls. The extreme high voltages produced within thunderstorms also
produce ozone from oxygen. The special “fresh, clean, spring rain” smell is from nature-
produced ozone. The word “Ozone” is derived from the Greek word ozein, which means to
smell.
Ozone is only produced under extreme circumstances. This can also be created by ozone
generators. Ozone generators produce ozone with extreme high voltages or with UV-light.
How Does Ozone Work?
Ozone operates according to the principles of oxidation. When the static loaded ozone molecule
(O3) contacts with something that is “oxidation able”, the charge of the ozone molecule will
directly flow over to it. This is because ozone is very unstable and prefers to turn back to its
original form of oxygen (O2). Ozone can oxidize all kinds of materials, but also will completely
eliminate odour and microorganisms like viruses, molds and bacteria. The extra oxygen atom
releases from the ozone molecule and then binds with other material. Eventually what remains is
only the pure and stable oxygen molecule.
Ozone is one of the strongest oxidation agents available for use. The extra-added oxygen atom
will bind (oxidize) in a split second to every component that comes into contact with it.
Ozone can be used for a broad array of purification applications. For the most part, ozone is
applied in municipal wastewater and potable water treatment plants (for disinfection). However
ozone is used more and more in the industrial branch. In the food industry for example ozone is
used for disinfection and in the paper and textile industry it is used for the oxidation of
wastewater. The main benefit of ozone is its clean character. That is, it creates almost no by-
products. Because ozone has a strong recognizable odour, very low concentrations will soon be
perceived. This makes it generally safe to work with ozone.

How Is Ozone Produced?
Ozone can be produced artificially according the same principle as it occurs in nature, which
means by either UV light (ozone layer) or via corona-discharge (high voltages lightning). In both
methods the bonds between the oxygen molecules are broken apart. Consequently oxygen radical
is produced, which will, in turn, bind with another oxygen molecule to form O3 (ozone).
O3Canada employs both methods in our generators. Most equipment in the past used the corona
discharge method. Equipment utilizing UV is now becoming the standard since new technology
has allowed higher amounts of ozone to be produced using super HO tubes and new adjustable
ballasts allow variable outputs with UV ozone.
UV ozone is also the purest, most reliable, and has the least maintenance of any generator
available.

What is Ozone?
•A naturally occurring gas that may be formed through the interaction of oxygen and electricity.
•A highly soluble gas which can be dissolved in water.
•A powerful natural sanitizer that works similarly to chlorine bleach by directly oxidizing and
destroying a microorganism’s cell wall thereby destroying the microorganism.
•A power natural sanitizer whose antimicrobial properties have been known for over a century.
Viriditec’s patented technology combines the natural cleaning power of water and ozone with
modern Nanobubble Technology to produce a clean, safe and highly effective natural cleaner.
Our technology provides an on-demand, easy to use, no rinse application to quickly clean
surfaces and remove odors. Simply apply the Viriditec™ solution and then either wipe the
surface dry, wet-vac the surface or simply allow the surface to air dry.
What are nanobubbles?
Nanobubbles are nanometer sized gaseous cavities in an aqueous solution. Ordinary macro and
micro bubbles have a larger diameter and quickly rise to the surface and burst out of a solution or
simply collapse and disappear while nanobubbles have been shown to remain in liquids for an
extended period of time.

CIGARETTE SMOKE
Cigarette smoke contains numerous chemicals which are hazardous to our
health. These chemicals cling to surfaces and cause foul odours and can even
create an unhealthy environment by leaving toxins in the air.
Our Ozone generators can quickly and safely remove the smells associated with tobacco smoke
by attacking the phenol gasses produced by cigarettes. Cars can be rendered odour free in as little
as 30 minutes and even large homes and commercial buildings can be treated relatively quickly.
Businesses can have designated smoking areas treated which can improve the smell in these
areas dramatically. Ozone can even be applied to an entire house to increase its appeal to a
prospective home buyer.
Fact – Painting over walls laden with cigarette smoke will not get rid of the smell
permanently. The chemicals contained in cigarette smoke can actually seep through the
paint, causing the odour to return.
Fact – The particles that are released from cigarette smoke are about .001% the width of a
hair. They can easily seep through flooring, walls and other surfaces.
Fact – Some studies suggest that the particles that cause smoke odour can potentially be as
hazardous as the smoke itself.
Fact – Smoke particles can linger in the air long after the cigarette has been extinguished.

Sports Equipment
Sports equipment can develop a very distinct odour over time. Sweat can
saturate the equipment, providing a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. This
can cause staph infections and other serious illnesses. It can also damage the
equipment over time.
Using Ozone to keep your teams equipment clean can prolong the life of the equipment and keep
players healthy. As well, there will no longer be a need to leave your gear in the garage to avoid
bringing the foul smell indoors. Ozone can clean your equipment and leave it smelling fresh and
new in as little as 30 minutes.
Fact – Sweat can produce bacteria that can cause many harmful or potentially fatal
diseases.
Fact – Odour from sports equipment can contaminate the area it’s stored in, causing the
bacteria and odour to spread.
Fact – Ozone actually eliminates the odour rather than just masking it like some
commercial cleaning solutions do.
Fact – Unlike some cleaning solutions, Ozone will not leave any chemical residue on your
equipment.
Fact – Regular cleaning with Ozone can actually save you money by increasing the life
expectancy of your equipment.

Animal Odours
Animal odours are some of the most difficult odours to treat. Over a billion
dollars is spent annually creating new products to mask the odours our furry
friends leave behind.
Ozone works to ensure pet odour is completely eliminated. There’s no lingering odour left after
the ozone clears and no chance of the odour returning. Ozone removes pet odour by oxidation
which completely removes the odour instead of just masking it.
Ozone can eliminate all pet odours such as:
Fur – Animal Fur, especially if damp, is rife with bacteria that leave unpleasant odours.
Urine – Animal urine contains ammonia which is a potent chemical with a very pungent smell.
Not only can lingering ammonia cause unpleasant odours, it also serves as a marker that
animals use for them to do their “business”.
Feces – When animal feces break down, it not only leaves behind a noxious odour but it can also
attract flies and other insects.
Fact - Ozone not only works 3125 times more efficiently than chlorine and it also leaves no
toxic residue.
Fact – Removing Urine and Feces odours can improve success with housebreaking young
pets.
Fact – Most traditional cleaning solutions that mask pet odours often don’t remove the
other chemicals found in urine and feces.

Vehicle Odours
Odours like smoke and stagnant water can really be an issue, especially when
you consider the smaller space of a vehicle.
Even the air conditioning system can leave residual odours. Ozone works by not only getting
odours out from the interior of the car but also the ventilation system as well.
Ozone works to quickly destroy odour causing VOCS (Volatile Organic Compounds). In as little
as 30 minutes, Ozone can disinfect your car and leave it smelling fresh and new. No more
expensive sprays or air fresheners hanging from the mirror.
Fact – Odour causing bacteria can hide in many small spaces in your vehicle, including the
ventilation system. Ozone can get into any surface area and get rid of any odours.
Fact – De-odourizing your vehicle before putting it up for sale can actually increase the
vehicles appeal which translates into a higher selling price.
Fact – Condensation can gather inside the air conditioning system of a vehicle which can
promote mold growth.

Cooking Odours
The last thing you or your guests want to smell in your home is your last meal.
Food odours can permeate the air of your home and leave unpleasant odours for
long periods of times.
Even the cleanest of homes can have lingering food odours and some odours are particularly
hard to combat, lingering for weeks or even months. Washing walls or re-painting will not
always eliminate the smell of years of heavy cooking odours. Ozone penetrates carpets, wall
paper and other soft surfaces in a home to quickly eliminate even the strongest of food odours.
Grease – Grease that splatters from meat, oil, butter and other greasy foods can easily saturate
surfaces aroundyour cooking area and leave behind a film that creates unwanted odours.
Ethnic Foods – Ethnic foods such as Curry can leave a very potent odour that will linger for a
long period of time.
Fish – The musky scent of fish can be a troublesome odour that’s hard to get rid of.
Fact – If left untreated, the residue left behind from cooking is an optimal breeding ground
for various kinds of bacteria and odours.
Fact – Having your home treated with Ozone before putting it on the market can make it
more attractive to potential buyers.
Fact – Cooking odours can quickly spread throughout the entire house through the air
duct system.
Fact – Painting will not eliminate cooking odours as the chemicals that cause odours can
seep through the paint.

Fire and Flood
A fire or flood can cause major grief for a homeowner, even after the damage is
repaired.
Smoke odours can penetrate deep into the walls and other surfaces. Moisture from a flood can
not only saturate carpeted areas, but also the padding underneath as well as the sub-flooring. This
can make odours particularly difficult or outright impossible to treat without removing the
carpeting.
Flood and fire odours can be difficult and costly to treat with traditional methods. Ozone easily
eliminates the lingering smell smoke or moisture can leave behind. Ozone is also a natural mold
regulator, disrupting its growth process and stopping it from spreading… It’s safe and leaves no
chemical residue when the cleaning is done.
Fact – Flood damage can cause optimal situations for rapid mold growth.
Fact – Soot from fires will cling to all surfaces and its resultant odour is difficult to wash off
with traditional methods.
Fact – Ozone can penetrate carpets, neutralizing odour causing bacteria and mold that
may lurk underneath.
Fact – Removing any sources of moisture is important in ensuring mold is eradicated
completely.

Recreational Vehicles
An RV can become a hotbed of bacteria and odours when it’s left in storage.
Left-over food, clothing, un-clean septic tanks and even the fridge can create
odours that can make your families camping experience unpleasant.
Having your RV treated with Ozone can eliminate these odours. Your family will enjoy their
camping experience more in your clean, odour free RV.
Odours trapped in RVS can come from many sources:
Drains – Left over water in the drainage system or holding tanks of the RV can become stagnant
over time.
Septic System – If not cleaned properly, the septic system can fester and emit odorous gasses into
the RV through the toilet.
Stale air – Even the air itself can become stale and odorous if the RV is kept in storage for long
periods of time.
Fact – The small confines of an RV amplify trapped odours because there’s less airflow in a
smaller space.
Fact – The holding tanks of an RV are one of the most common sources of persistent
odours.
Fact – Finding and eliminating the source of odours can often be a difficult undertaking for
RV owners, sometimes requiring partial disassembly of the RV itself.

Mold
Often found in warm, moist spots such as bathrooms or kitchens, Toxic Mold can
quickly become a very serious issue.
If left untreated, mold can begin to colonize and reproduce billions of spores in as little as 48
hours. This can cause serious and even life threatening illness in humans and animals. It can also
leave a very strong and musty odour.
Mold can also cause structural damage to buildings which can lower the value of property or
render it completely uninhabitable. Ozone can disrupt molds ability to reproduce, stopping it
from spreading and eradicating the odour.
Fact – Mold only needs moisture, moderately warm temperatures and an organic food
source to grow.
Fact – Mold spores can travel through the air, causing the issue to spread into other areas
rapidly.
Fact – Toxic Mold can cause serious health issues such as chronic fatigue, chronic rhinitis
and dermatitis.
Fact – The musty smell of mold is caused by Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds or
MVOCS.
Fact – Mold spores in a high enough concentration can cause reactions even in people
without allergies.
