In the future, this technique may also be used in removing the AIDS virus. One preliminary unpublished study indicates this to be so. Most studies, up to this point, have only focused on proving how breathing ozone was toxic, or name it as air pollution. Pure ozone, applied in the proper say, is quite a different story. The studies where animals have inhaled it do not equal the response of the human lungs, because there are so many differences in the anatomy and physiology.
Mice have the most trouble with it, and birds the least.
Inhaling very low dosages increases enzyme activity, while overdosage can result in bleeding in the lungs. Due to the danger of breathing in too much ozone, modern treatment machines are designed to prevent any leakage into the treatment room, as well as catalytically converting excess ozone to oxygen during administration. What we haven't done is the tests proving exactly why it has these effects. Only a few microgreams per liter provide germ killing action. It works even faster on viruses than bacteria, at lower dosages, and is influenced by pH, temperature, and other nearby organic compounds.
