Where on earth does this stuff come from! The lungs are about 100% efficient at 16% oxygen saturation under normal healthy conditions. The atmospheric oxygen is just under 21% so, your blood is fully oxygenated with plenty to spare provided your lungs aren't damaged by, among other things, extreme oxygen exposure or of course ozone.
The thing about ozone though is that should the third oxygen atom dissociate it becomes free to associate with other elements to form free radicals. Not to worry too much though, unless the water is pressurized with O3, it cannot remain suspended in the liquid long enough to be present in any amount when you drink it because of the low partial pressure of O3 in the surrounding environment. It is possible to get some to stay in suspension by pressurizing the water in O3 gas as they do with carbon dioxide which is what causes the fizz in soda drinks and yes, even beer and sparkling wines. Now, when I drink a lot of beer with lots of carbon dioxide fizz it returns the way it came in the form of very satisfying burps. Well, most of it does, some apparently finds another less pleasing exit. While I don't know this for sure, I expect that pressurized ozone would perform similarly except that it's reputed odor absorbing properties might limit some of the entertainment value. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Sherrer To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2010 6:49 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] ozone Ozonated water is good for you since it increases your absorbed oxygen. It also helps your body get rid of free radicals.

I am told that the amount introduced is such that it dissipates quickly but dealing a death blow to any microbes which may have been introduced during the bottling process. I have an electronic air filter at my office, and when there is a lot of arcing, when a larger piece of lent or what have you is sucked in, then it sounds like a bug whacker. When that happens, I am told that a bit of ozone is generated. A smell is also created for a brief time. I hope the levels are so low as to not be harmful.
