What is Ozone?
Most people have heard of Ozone in the context of the Ozone Layer
- the layer of our atmosphere that protects us from the sun's
harmful UV rays.
Ozone (O³) is naturally generated when atmospheric Oxygen rises to
the upper atmosphere, and is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays.
In addition to forming a layer of protection,
Ozone is one of the most powerful naturally occurring sterilisers in the
world, destroying bacteria, viruses, allergens, Mould
and odours on contact.
That fresh, clean smell we notice after a thunder storm
results from the natural creation of Ozone, as it is generated naturally whenever
lightning strikes – it is also created by waterfalls. |
