Test Summary of ABC Research Reports
ABC Research Corporation conducted tests in December 2005 entitled:
“ The Disinfection Efficacy of Gaseous Ozone Treatments against
Selected Microorganisms Inoculated onto Dry and Wet Surfaces.”
:: ABC
Test Dry 8 hr
:: ABC
Test Wet 8 hr
Report Summary
There was progressive inactivation efficacy with
increasing exposure times to ozone. For dry bacteria there was
at least a one log unit (or >90%) reduction evidenced for all
treatment times. For bacteria in a wet environment, there was
at least a one log unit (or >90%) reduction observed after
60 min. or more of treatment. The 8 hour ozone treatment was extremely
effective for all bacteria in a dry or wet environment. There
was no surviving bacteria of any type detected after the 8 hr.
ozone treatment in dry or wet environments with reductions ranging
from > 7.74 to >8.94 log-units in the wet environment. The
was no surviving Stachybotrys chartarum detected in a wet environment
after the 30 and 60 min. ozone treatments with a >4.45 log
unit reduction observed.
