AQUEOUS OZONE Many studies show the effectiveness of aqueous ozone on norovirus.
NIH – National Institutes of Health Aqueous Ozone is in the National Institutes of Health records as having effectiveness against norovirus.
“The significant inactivation by aqueous ozone indicates that ozone may be a plausible substitute for chlorine as an alternative treatment for seeds.�
Crops can be infected by foodborne viruses as they grow. Noroviruses cause 58% of food illness in the United States. The USDA, ever on the lookout for ways to reduce that risk, published a study testing aqueous ozone and comparing it with chlorine (bleach) to inactivate human norovirus.
The University of Delaware study showed aqueous ozone
“could be a more effective method to inactivate viruses than (chlorine).�
Further study of aqueous ozone effectiveness was published in the journal Applied Environmental Microbiology. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2820967/
“… proper ozone disinfection practices can be used to easily control its (human norovirus/murine norovirus) transmission in water.”
