Reports on sterilization of ozone related epidemic virus

In recent years, there have been many rapid epidemic viruses in the world, including SARS, avian influenza, mad cow disease and E.coli in China. The following are the reports of ozone sterilization of these viruses:

National P3 laboratory first proved that ozone can kill SARS virus

Xinhuanet (November 6, 2003)

Since the discovery and use of ozone, the world has been using ozone to "fight fiercely" against all kinds of viruses and bacteria, and has summed up many experiences. For example, ozone has carried out disinfection and sterilization experiments on Staphylococcus aureus,

The elimination of bacteria, very quickly, it can be said that "the knife rises and falls".

The main cause of this SARS epidemic is a new variant of coronavirus. Scientists have experienced great twists and turns in their understanding and final confirmation of it. As an excellent disinfectant, ozone has never had the chance to "go to the meeting alone" with SARS virus. However, experts and scholars in the ozone industry generally believe that ozone will have effect on SARS virus. Due to the lack of first-hand experimental data, we can only speculate theoretically.

Recently, Professor Li Zelin, an expert of Technical Committee of China ozone Industry Federation and director of national P3 laboratory, presided over the experiment of inactivating SARS virus by ozone. In the experiment, the comprehensive inactivation rate of SARS virus inoculated on kidney cells of green monkey was 99.22%. After three repeated experiments, the inactivation efficiency was very high, and the experiment was successful. (China National P3 Lab approved the ozone can sterilize the SARS of 99.22%)

According to the retrieval of China ozone industry federation from the International Ozone Association, this experiment of using ozone to kill SARS virus is the first in the world. It not only provides the scientific basis for the effective killing of SARS virus by ozone to the society, but also has an impact on the development of ozone industry in China and even the world. More importantly, consumers can use ozone products to eliminate SARS virus at ease. At the same time, the comparative experiments completed by the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences show that the ozone used in this time fully meets the requirements of environmental safety（http://www.chinataiwan.org/web/webportal/W5066398/A5441753.html )

TSO3 Ozone Sterilizer to be tested by British Government

for ability to deactivate prions

04/19/2005 - The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has recently been awarded a grant of £327k (approximately $710k CAN) by the UK Department of Health (DH) to study the effectiveness of the TSO3 Ozone Sterilizer for deactivation of prions.

"The potential transmission of CJD from patient to patient via contaminated surgical instruments has been a concern worldwide for a number of years", said Dr. Neil Raven, Research Manager of the HPA. "The data from the preliminary tests conducted by TSO3 lead us to believe that the Ozone Sterilizer could be a significant part of the solution to the problem of variant CJD (vCJD), the human form of mad cow disease. That is why we have been working for nearly a year and a half on developing a protocol with TSO3 and obtaining the funding from the DH".

SARS and Ozone Therapy: Theoretical Considerations

by Gérard V. Sunnen, M.D

May 2003

Abstract SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is a global disease of significant lethality with an expanding incidence and prevalence base. Of massive public health importance, SARS presents supremely challenging problems in light of its pathogenic capacity and mutational potential. Ozone, because of its special biological properties, has theoretical and practical attributes to make it a viable candidate as a SARS virus inactivator through a variety of physicochemical and immunological mechanisms.

Bird flu enters EU as Greece finds disease on island farm

By Stephen Castle in Brussels and Elinda Labropoulou in Athens

Published: 18 October 2005

European ministers will hold emergency talks today on bird flu in the wake of the confirmation of an outbreak of the disease within the EU's borders.

Authorities in Greece identified the virus at a turkey farm on the island of Oinouses, near the Turkish coast. Tests are underway to determine whether it is the H5NI variety that has caused the deaths of 60 people in the Far East. If the potentially lethal strain is identified, it would be the first time the disease had entered EU territory.

H5N1 had already been discovered in Turkey and in Romania, sparking alarm across the continent, and prompting calls for EU nations to stockpile antiviral drugs. Yesterday, urgent tests were underway on dead birds found in Croatia, although the Bulgarian authorities said they had detected no cases of bird flu despite earlier alarms.

Deadly bird flu strain confirmed in Turkey (the country)

-- Coming soon to a flock near you

By Lucy Sherriff

Published Thursday 13th October 2005 14:25 GMT

A small outbreak of avian flu found in Turkish poultry has been confirmed as the deadly H5N1 strain, prompting EU health officials to warn of an impending pandemic.

Meanwhile, bird flu has also been confirmed in ducks in Romania, although the strain has yet to be identified, according to the European Commission. The EU has banned all bird-product and poultry imports from both countries.

The H5N1 strain of bird flu can jump the species barrier from birds to humans, and since 2003 it is known to have killed around 60 people in Asia. However, there is only one case where the virus is suspected of having been passed from one human to another, and even that report is unconfirmed.

Researchers fear that if the virus gains the ability to pass from person to person, it would spread through the world's population too quickly for suitable vaccines to be developed and distributed.

Although currently all cases of bird flu in humans have been found in people working with or near poultry, if someone infected with an ordinary influenza virus were to become infected with the H5N1 strain, it could mutate to spread more easily between people, researchers warn.

EU heath commissioner Markos Kyprianou has said that Europe should prepare for a possible flu pandemic.

"We have received now confirmation that the virus found in Turkey is an avian flu H5N1 virus," Kyprianou said, according to a Guardian report. "There is a direct relationship with viruses found in Russia, Mongolia and China."

He says countries should ensure vulnerable populations are vaccinated against flu this winter, and advises governments to stockpile anti-viral medication, if possible.
