AbstractThe bactericidal effect of ozone at concentrations of 1 and 2 p.p.m. by volume, was tested on separately atmized resting cell suspensions of Aerobacter aerogenes, Bacillus megathreium, and Escherichia coli B impinged on Millipore filters. The exposure of each species required the use of 18 randomly selected filters containing impinged organisms. Of the 18 filters, 6 were used in the control. The temperature and the relative humidity of the ozone flow were approximately 25ºC and 20 per cent, respectively, while the flow-rate across each filter was 3 liters per minute. It was found that all of the organisms tested were completely destroyed by both 2 and 2 p.p.m. ozone within 2 minutes of exposure.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
