"The trouble is
that one soon gets used to bad air, and bad odors are not apt to
be noticed after awhile; but the fact remains that pure air is
more wholesome than contaminated air. In our regular daily life,
it is almost an impossibility to provide for fresh air. No amount
of ventilation, not even an unbearable draft, will be capable of
keeping a room or a place in good condition, unless one takes
recourse in ventilating with ozonized air. Removal of bad odors by
means of air flushing is an absolute impossibility, and yet they
should be removed. That is where ozone comes in. The method of
purifying the air by ozone has the advantage of being fully
reliable, very efficient and inexpensive."

"Ozone destroys all odors that are present. It does not merely
mask them. The destruction of odors is impossible when air is
circulated only, or when oxygen is used. This fact has been proven
in cold storage warehouses, where all kinds and any food products
are stored. Odors are not present regardless how strong they might
be, or where they may originate, if only low concentrations of
Ozone is used."

"As a deodorant for odors and stenches of organic origin, ozone
has long proven effective and we can only confirm this general
opinion."

"Ozone destroys organic odors. Ozone is a deodorizer of powerful
stenches, such as from garbage incineration and fat rendering.
When the odors from chimneys cause public nuisance, Ozone has big
commercial usefulness."

In "Preventive Medicine and Hygiene"
"The effect of Ozone was thought in the past to be a masking
action, but more recently the tendency is to hold that it is
purely an oxidizing process. Most odors encountered in ventilation
problems result from hydrocarbon compounds suspended in the
atmosphere in minute quantities as the result of human or animal
respiration and from various organic processes. These hydrocarbons
are immediately oxidized upon coming in contact with ozone, the
resulting products being water and carbon dioxide, both odorless.
This process is effective in completely removing the scent of
odors, if the reaction is complete, which requires that the Ozone
be in such a manner as to insure its even distribution throughout
the air.

"...In sales, cooler, fresh and sweet air at times would be a
distinct selling advantage. OZONE seems to offer this solution, in
the meat packing plant. In fact, it is being widely used in cold
storage plants to correct the very situation objectionable in the
meat packing plant."

"Unpleasant odors are not masked or covered up, but are literally
destroyed. The results in an ordinary room are almost immediate.
Where clean, fresh air is desirable, this machine has a definite
contribution to make to the Medical World.

Medical Director of Behrens Memorial Hospital Glendale, California
"When Ozone comes in contact with dead organic matter, oxidation
immediately takes place with destruction of the organic matter. In
this, it is powerful in removing odors."
