Claim Text:
1. A system for treating pulverized matter, the system comprising: a portable machine having a housing and a rotary mechanism mounted in the housing, the machine pulverizing waste material into a flux of small pieces and pathogen-laden dust particulates, during which the rotary mechanism, while in use, churns about within the housing; an ozone generator comprising a fan connected to the housing to discharge ozone-enriched air evenly into the housing to expose litter in said flux to ozone in sufficiently high concentrations to kill pathogens in the litter and neutralize ammonia odors; and an ultraviolet light source housed in a trailer separate from the housing, wherein the ultraviolet light source irradiates dust generated by the rotary mechanism to sterilize the waste material and destroys associated ground-level ozone from the ozone generator.
