Ozone in the production of mineral water, pure water and beverage water, it is harmful to the human body?

Ozone, a natural substance that exists on Earth, is widely known for the presence of the atmospheric ozone layer. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent and broad-spectrum efficient bactericides, with a unique fishy smell. 1785, the Germans in the use of electric motors, found in the motor discharge produces an odor. 1840 German scientists Schonbein (Schonbein) will be identified as the odor O3, and named OZONE (ozone). Since then, European scientists took the lead in the study of the characteristics and utility of ozone, found that the broad-spectrum sterilizing effect, the beginning of industrial production and application, which is used by a Swedish beef company to ozone on the freshness of beef storage, since 1870, has been used to date. In the 19th century, people have recognized the strong oxidizing effect of ozone, found that ozone on wood, straw, starch, plant pigments, natural rubber, fats, animal and vegetable oils and alcohols and other substances have an oxidizing effect. 1868, de - Gebeth (de - Gebeth) obtained the first patent for the application of ozone technology, the use of ozone will be oxidized to a coal-tar mixture of products suitable for coatings, paints. In 1873, Europe will ozone in sugar refining and flax bleaching put into use. More than a hundred years ozone application has been deep into a number of fields, the human production technology has made significant contributions to the development. Ozone applications are divided into four areas according to the use of water treatment, chemical oxidation, food processing and medical four areas of freshness, each area of applied research and equipment development has reached a fairly high level. The world has formed an independent ozone technology industry and sector, established in 1973, the International Ozone Association (IOA) based in Canada. The Association held every two years an international conference to exchange papers and reports on the development of ozone technology in various countries, developed countries are generally established IOA regional organizations for academic exchanges. After World War II, the international ozone application technology has been a great development. First of all, in 1902, Germany, Paderborn established the first large-scale water treatment with ozone water treatment plant, creating a precedent for ozone water treatment, the world now has thousands of ozone water plants in Europe and the United States, Japan, Canada and other countries in the application of ozone has reached a popularized degree of water plants. Mineral water, pure water manufacturers are almost all equipped with ozone equipment. The United States in the early seventies began to use ozone to deal with domestic sewage, mainly for sterilization, disinfection, removal of pollutants, decolorization, etc. to meet the discharge standards. Japan will be in water-scarce areas with ozone treatment of sewage as water use. The United States, Japan, Germany, France and other countries in recent years have established large-scale ozone sewage treatment plants. Secondly, the industrial application of ozone has also been very common, mainly used in chemical, petroleum, paper, textile and pharmaceutical, spice industry. Application of the food industry is more popular, 1904 Europe on the use of ozone to preserve milk, meat products, cheese, egg white and other food preservation treatment, the end of the thirties, the United States, 80% of the refrigerated egg bank are installed ozone generators. After World War II, Europe and the United States, Japan in the food and fruit, vegetable preservation will be ozone used in storage, manufacturing, transportation and other aspects. In terms of medical care, World War II, Japan on the use of ozone for human physiotherapy, Russia is used for strong gas (ozonized air) sportsman applications. At present, the international medical aspects of a variety of uses: such as wards, operating room air disinfection, the use of ozone water for the disinfection of medical instruments, the use of ozone for the treatment of dental diseases (oral surgery and to maintain the oral cavity sterile), the use of ozone and radiotherapy combined with the treatment of cancer, drinking ozone water treatment of women's diseases, injection of ozone gas treatment of fistulae hemorrhoids, varicose veins and so on. In health care, Japan, Taiwan popular inhalation of strong gas (containing a low concentration of ozone air) to strengthen the body, with ozonized water shower body to kill bacteria and beauty. Nowadays, the popular high-tech beauty care is in fact the application of ozone. Ozone disinfection technology is introduced into the food processing industry in recent years, a new technology of sanitation and disinfection. As people's understanding of its deepening, has gradually been more and more applications. Ozone gas and ozone water sterilization disinfection characteristics, so that it has the advantage of replacing the current ultraviolet light and chemical disinfection methods in some food production. It can also solve the problem that some food products can not use thermal disinfection methods, while reducing energy consumption.
