Ozone Water Treatment

When we think about the word Ozone, most people will immediately think about the Ozone layer which makes up a portion of our atmosphere, and you are right – mostly.

Ozone more specifically refers to the gas Tri-oxygen, which makes up approximately 0.6% of our atmosphere, or 0.6 parts per million.

In this article we will be looking the water-treatment potential of Tri-oxygen, how we first came by it and how it is used in the industry.

Disaster Relief and Nanotech Water Filtration

One of the biggest problems in the world at the moment is a massive shortage of water for human consumption (a.k.a potable water). In many disaster-stricken regions of Africa, bottled water is flown in to aid people who desperately need it, but this is very expensive and not sustainable.

“37% per cent of the developing world’s population – 2.5 billion people – lack improved sanitation facilities, and over 780 million people still use unsafe drinking water sources”, according to the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP).
