Ozone is a naturally occuring cleansing agent found in the earth’s atmosphere. Ozone purifies the air we breathe. Ozone also occurs with a lightning strike. That fresh, clean smell after a thunderstorm is the smell of ozone.
A colorless gas and powerful oxidizing agent, ozone is also commonly used commercially to kill bacteria as well as to purify and sanitize. Ozone is used to purify drinking water, sterilize hospital rooms, remove the smell of smoke and mold from buildings and purify the air in resturants and hotels.
Ozone gets a bad rap because we hear about ozone alerts in conjunction with the pollution index in major cities. Actually, there is a higher concentration of ozone in these situations because ozone is nature’s way of cleansing the air.
Ozonics produces ozone by introducing electricity to oxygen much like what happens with a lightning strike - only on a smaller scale. In the presence of electricity, oxygen molecules (O2) will fracture and temporarily turn into ozone molecules (O3) which are characteristically unstable. This means they will bond with the other available molecules, like human scent. This strong tendency to bond with other molecules is what results in purification in general and scent control for the hunter.
