Ozone has been proven to kill mold and mildew. It has also been
proven that only a small amount of ozone is needed to kill bacteria (e. coli,
staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus salivarius, bacillus cereus etc.) (

There are many pollutants in the typical home and office. Indoor
air pollution (dust, pollen, pet dander etc.) is at least 10 times higher than
outdoor air. Negative ions reduce these particles along with
microorganisms. (Pennsylvania State
University et al)

Another benefit of negative ions was demonstrated in a study done by
Columbia
University in which they claim negative
ions can improve a person’s mood. They performed an experiment in
which they used two test groups of depressed people. They exposed one group to
negatively charged ions daily, this group showed an anti-depressant response,
while the group who were not exposed to negative ions remained depressed.

OZONE - Indispensable in Schools
During the influenza
epidemic in St. Louis ,
the most critical and advanced cases were transferred to an open air school,
which made for high percentage of mortality. In one particular ward,
experiments were made with ozonized air
on cases approaching or at the crises period of the diseases where patients
were able to inhale at all, they WERE AT ONCE RELIEVED AND SUCCESSFULLY
CARRIED OVER THE CRISIS.
Two schools were then used for an experiment, one with OZONIZED air and another with ordinary
air. Both schools contained approximately the same number of rooms. The
following cases of sickness were observed and tabulated:

Comparing the total days absent we find that in the school where
OZONIZED air was used, the school children were absent, due to the foregoing
cases of sickness, 475 school days, while in the school where ordinary air
was circulated by means of the ventilating system, the school children were
absent a total of 1,098 school days.
Thousands of lives would be saved every year if homes and schools were
equipped with apparatus for the circulation of Ozone. Injected with the air
of the building to the extent of one part of Ozone to one million parts of
air, it effects approximately 100% purification. In five years that Ozone has
been used in the Public Schools of St. Louis, TUBERCULOSIS CASES HAVE BEEN
REDUCED 50%, ALSO OTHER DISEASES HAVE BEEN MATERIALLY REDUCED.
