what is ozone?
ozone is a chemical compound consisting of three oxygen atoms
O3 (i.e. triatomic oxygen), a highly energetic form of normal
(diatomic) atmospheric oxygen (O2).
thus, the molecules of these two forms are different in structure,
i.e.: at room temperature, O3 is a colorless gas with a characteristic
odor (e.g. after thunderstorms, at high altitudes or near the
sea etc).

its name is from the greek ozein (ozein) meaning “to smell”,
and it was discovered in
1840 by the german chemist christian friedrich schönbein
(1799-1868).
closer to ground level it can occur in the form of smog at concentrations
of 1 part O3 per 10 million parts air (= 0.1 ppm = 200 µg/m_);
at a height of 2,000 meters (or 6,561.6 feet), however, it is
much less, as a rule only 0.03 - 0.04 ppm.
due to its being an extremely powerful oxidizing agent and a
highly effective disinfectant, it is used throughout the world
to destroy germs in water treatment installations supplying
drinking water.
