Ozone and peroxone disinfection of Toxocara canis eggs in water.

Water pollution in developing countries continues to be a major health problem due to various anthropological activities that contribute to the spread of many parasitic diseases, including those caused by helminths. The aim of this study is to explore the ability of ozone and peroxone to disinfect drinking water contaminated samples with Toxocara canis eggs. The oxidants used were ozone and ozone-hydrogen peroxide combination.

Ozone as an alternative decontamination process for N95 facemask and biosafety gowns.

COVID-19 pandemic created a global shortage of medical protective equipment. Here, we considered ozone (O) a disinfectant alternative due to its potent oxidative activity against biological macromolecules. The O decontamination assays were done using SARS-CoV-2 obtained from patients to produce artificial contamination of N95 masks and biosecurity gowns.
