Response : Ozone is extremely active. When it encounters a bacteria, virus or fungi, it ruptures the cell of the micro-organism. When it is faced with a compound like odors and pesticides, the extra atom of oxygen consumes them completely by oxidation reactions. Instead of masking the effect of unpleasant odors, ozone destructs the odor causing compounds chemically. Thereafter, the rest of ozone naturally reverts to oxygen very quickly.
