The air we breathe is made up of 21% oxygen (O2), 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gases. An oxygen molecule consists of 2
oxygen atoms. Inside the Pure Air Systems, electrically excited gas in a quartz glass tube generates a light wave that simulates
UV light from the sun. The oxygen atoms of the O2 molecule are split by this UV light and form O3, or an ozone molecule. The
weakly held active third atom of the ozone molecule is attracted to organic molecules. When it reacts with an organic molecule, it
undergoes a chemical change resulting in a different substance by actually changing its molecular structure to a harmless by-product, just like fire changes organics to carbon, CO2, and water. Ozone literally destroys the odor-causing pollutant by
releasing its aggressive oxygen atoms to the odor substance, which is thereby oxidized, and the ozone molecule is converted
back to pure oxygen.
