This accounts for the calm and the relaxed feeling enjoyed while at the beach or in the mountains. This is sometimes referred to as activated oxygen, allotropic, triatomic form of oxygen or pure air. Being an unstable gas, ozone's life span is about 20 minutes, depending on the temperature. After completing its job, it reverts back to oxygen. This means ozone has to be produced on site.
Ozone is second only to fluorine as the most powerful oxidizer or oxidant in the world.
It's the most powerful, natural air and water sanitizer readily available. Ozone will break down any chemical into that chemical's basic naturally-occurring component parts. After time they are eventually broken down into water, carbon dioxide, sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen. These elements are all naturally occurring substances needed for our survival. The news media today refers to air pollution or smog as being excessive ozone levels.
