“…Ozone is a strong oxidant with a tremendous ability to oxidize odors, organic compounds, microorganisms, and other substances (Franken, 2005). Due to its powerful oxidation potential, ozone has been applied in the disinfection of microorganisms in many fields, such as food, water, air, soil, and medicine (Franken, 2005;Takayama et al 2006;Tseng and Li, 2006;Naitou and Takahara, 2008;Uhm et al, 2009). Gaseous ozone is particularly effective in odor removal, is largely non-corrosive to equipment, has excellent disinfection capability, and provides complete coverage of all surfaces, making it ideal for application as an interior disinfectant (Franken, 2005).…”
