Ozone Disinfection to Combat Viruses and Protect Human Health
Ozone deactivates viruses!
You need the answers to 2 questions when you use ozone to disinfect your living and working spaces:
Is the ozone concentration high enough to destroy the viruses?
When has ozone dropped low enough for me to go back into the room?
A 2B Technologies Ozone Monitor can answer both questions.
You need the answers to 2 questions when you use ozone to disinfect your living and working spaces:
Is the ozone concentration high enough to destroy the viruses?
When has ozone dropped low enough for me to go back into the room?
A 2B Technologies Ozone Monitor can answer both questions.
- Based on a sophisticated UV-absorbance technique for measuring ozone
- Measures high concentrations (up to a few hundred parts per million) to answer Question 1 above
- Measures low concentrations (down to a few parts per billion) to answer Question 2
- Superior to electrochemical and HMOS sensors
The Model 108 Series Ozone Monitors are our smallest and most economical ozone monitors.
|
Model 106-L and Model 106-M Ozone Monitors offer the same range and sensitivity as their Model 108 counterparts.

2B Tech Monitors are used in a commercial ozone disinfection system. Ozone monitors manufactured by 2B Tech are integrated in the STERISAFE PRO and used to monitor ozone during the disinfection process.

Ozone the Destroyer
The Story of Ozone's Role in Disinfection
|
In the atmosphere, ozone plays the villain in the lower atmosphere as a pernicious air pollutant and greenhouse gas, and a hero higher up in the stratosphere where the ozone layer protects us from harmful UV radiation in sunlight. But in the deliberate hands of humankind, ozone plays a third role: versatile workhorse for the purpose of disinfection...

Please note the following statement of the International Ozone Association issued March 17, 2020:
"The International Ozone Association (IOA) has received several inquiries regarding the effectiveness of ozone to disinfect water and surfaces for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes the illness Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). While ozone is highly effective for the inactivation of many viruses, the IOA is not aware of any research and testing that has been conducted specifically on the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. To the best of our knowledge, Peer Reviewed Research has not yet been completed and therefore definitive conclusions cannot be made regarding ozone inactivation of SARS-CoV-2...For more information about the coronavirus disease and prevention, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/summary.html."
The IOA has also compiled the available research on ozone inactivation of various pathogens and viruses (not SARS-CoV-2) contained in the journal Ozone Science and Engineering (OS&E): https://www.tandfonline.com/action/doSearch?AllField=virus&SeriesKey=bose20.
