At this time, no one can say for certain that ozone is effective in killing the novel coronavirus COVID-19, as it is simply too early and no peer-reviewed studies have yet been conducted to support or confirm this. However, we know that ozone destroys other viruses by diffusing the gas through the protein coat of the cell into the nucleic acid core and damaging the RNA of the virus. While healthy cells have complex enzyme systems for protection, viruses have no such protection against oxidative stress which makes them vulnerable to ozone. We can also look to similar case studies and see that there have been nearly 20 scientific studies showing ozone gas is able to destroy the SARS coronavirus which is almost identical in structure to the new COVID-19 coronavirus. Here at Crystal Quest, we are using these ozone devices throughout our facilities in addition to following other recommended public health practices such as social distancing and increased attention to hygiene.
The Crystal Quest® Ozone generator is equipped with an easy-to-use timer to guarantee safe use. The timer is a simple method to control the level of ozone produced into the air to properly disinfect. When preparing to disinfect, set the timer for the desired dosing. This will allow the Crystal Quest® Ozone generator to be operated automatically when the space is unoccupied. Once the timer has ended, the system will shut down, the ozone with dissipate, and the area will be safe for re-entry into a clean environment.
Crystal Quest Ozone Generators are manufactured with various outputs. It is essential for safe use to understand the difference between the output doses. Ozone generators are used to produce ozone for cleaning air or removing smoke odors in unoccupied rooms.
Milligrams Per Hour (mg/h): This output is a low concentration for residential disinfection, small vehicles, and other small areas. Do not purchase a mid-dose or high-dose system for small space.
Grams Per Hour (g/h): This output is a high concentration and should only be used for large vehicles such as public city buses, subway, and trains, and large commercial and industrial dwellings. However, residential homes that exceed 8,000 square feet.
