When you take a trip to the countryside, and sit down by a mountain stream, you can breathe the refreshing air because the natural ozone has been in a surplus and has had an opportunity to remove the oxidizable materials. New buildings are built with vapor barriers, and a high degree of insulation such that there is no longer the natural exchange of air between the outside and the inside. Meanwhile more and more of our furnishings and floor coverings are made from synthetic materials. Under the stagnant air conditions which prevail because of the lack of ventilation, decomposition products and solvents leach out of these synthetic materials and fill the indoor space. When inhaled, they increase the demand for oxygen in the human body and thus deplete the body of oxygen.
Most pathogens causing illness, such as bacteria, viruses, cancer, and fungi, are anaerobic.
As a result these pathogens can thrive only where oxygen levels are depleted. This explains why it is so important for people to breath fresh air. Oxygen in its restructured form known as Ozone is about 3,500 times more potent as an oxidant than normal oxygen. Thus even in small and harmless levels it kills all of the anaerobic pathogens mentioned above. It also oxidizes all harmful pollutants into much less harmful or completely harmless compounds.
