Effect of Ozone on Bacteria
Effect of Ozone on Bacteria
- A healthy bacillus bacterial cell (waiting to ruin your day).
- Zooming in closer, an ozone molecule (blue) comes into contact with the cell wall. The cell wall is vital to the bacteria because it ensures the organism can maintain its shape.
- As ozone molecules make contact with the cell wall, a reaction called an oxidative burst occurs which literally creates a tiny hole in the cell wall.
- A newly created hole in the cell wall has injured the bacterium.
- The bacterium begins to loose its shape while ozone molecules continue creating holes in the cell wall.
- After thousands of ozone collisions over only a few seconds, the bacterial wall can no longer maintain its shape and the cell dies.
As a comparison based on 99.99% of bacterial concentration being killed and time taken, ozone is:
- 25 times that of HOCl (Hypochlorous Acid)
- 2,500 times that of OCl (Hypochlorite)
- 5,000 times that of NH2Cl (Chloramine)
Furthermore, ozone is at least ten times stronger than chlorine as a disinfectant. Chlorine reacts with meat forming highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds called THMs or tri-halomethanes - rendering meats lesser quality products. THMs were also implicated as carcinogens related to kidney, bladder, and colon cancers. Chlorine also results in the production of chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and chloromethane besides THMs. On the other hand, ozone does not leave any trace of residual product after its oxidative reaction.
