Ozone is a effective way to kill micro organisms in Book. As books are handled with bare hand, the chances of micro organisms being on the surface of book is high. So, its wise to disinfect books while returning to Libraries. Micro organisms can be Fungi, Bacteria or Virus.
Because of its high oxidation potential, ozone oxidizes cell components of the micro organisms cell wall. This is a consequence of cell wall penetration. Once
ozone has entered the cell, it oxidizes all essential components. When the cellular membrane is damaged during this process, the bacteria becomes inactive.
But, when inhaled ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections.
Therefore, ozone chamber is the ideal low cost solution for Libraries.
Available in different sizes.
