The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists do no recommend using ozone on visible mold growth. Due to various factors, ozone has not been found effective against molds. One problem is the elements that cause ozone to be less effective. Ozone can be affected by temperature and pH, decreasing its impact on mold. Organic materials in the structure can also affect ozone. A second problem is that ozone does not kill what it does not reach.

If mold is living inside the walls the ONLY way to kill the mold is to take down the wall and then blast the inside of the walls with High Ozone Shock Treatments to make sure it is all dead. Some companies are now saying that they have "specially created" ozone or that they use a form of "negative pressure" that will get the ozone inside of walls to kill the mold and bacteria inside them. This is simply not true.

Mold spores are tiny bacteria less than 4 microns in size -- so small that as many as 250,000 spores can fit on a pinhead and a person can inhale as many as 750,000 of these spores per minute! To help comprehend how small mycotoxins are, one common housefly could carry about 7.35 billion attached to its external body hairs. Consequently, IF 50,000 constitute a theoretically lethal dose, a housefly could carry a lethal dose for over 100,000 individuals.

Available data show that corn hybrids expressing Bt Cry toxins have reduced vulnerability to mycotoxin-producing fungi, thereby enhancing the safety of the grain for livestock feed and for human food (Munkvold and Hellmich, 1999). Since Herculex I contains the Cry1F protein, hybrids containing the trait may potentially be at less risk from mycotoxin-producing fungi.

Mycotoxins (fungal) and exotoxins (bacterial) are the poisonous waste that is generated by microforms. Microforms produce these extremely harmful toxins when they digest glucose, proteins and fats. In an acidic environment, these toxins are given a licence to grow rapidly and cause harm to tissues and bodily processes. Microform growth occurs in an acidic environment, particularly following the consumption of sugars, alcohol, yeast and most acid forming food and drink.

Besides the Ozone layer, Ozone is produced in nature mostly near waterfalls, seashores and forests. After the UV rays of the sun converges with water droplets, the oxygen in the water droplet change into Ozone. Ozone is also produced during rain or lightning strikes.

Ozone generators are not recommended for mold control. Ozone is a reactive form of oxygen that is toxic to living cells. Ozone levels sufficient to kill microorganisms are predictably irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs and can aggravate asthma. In some cases where ozone has been used for mold control, reported levels were high enough to present a serious health hazard in occupied spaces.

The way Ozone deals with germs is that it directly oxidizes the cell body of the germ. It damages the genes of the DNA to attain this suppression effect.

YES! Many of our customers have sent LeVic production molds to run due to dissatisfaction with the quality or delivery from the original molder. When using another company's mold, LeVic has a nominal charge to take the mold apart, clean, inspect, grease and reassemble the mold. If anything needs to be repaired we will notify you for authorization.

There are hundreds of thousands of types of molds. All are fungi, which means they are many-celled organisms that reproduce by sending tiny seeds called spores into the air. Molds need four things to grow: food, air, the right temperature and water. Although fungi grow naturally "outdoors", molds are very common in buildings and homes and will grow anywhere indoors where there is sufficient moisture.

They use ozone to disinfect the water during filtration. Excess ozone is removed before it is returned to the tanks.

Nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide discharged from car exhausts, will convert part of the oxygen into ozone with the assistance of UV light incidence. The Ozone produced in polluted areas can convert nitrogen monoxide into nitrogen dioxide which can then be dissolved into water. It also can convert carbon monoxide into a stable carbon dioxide, which is used for detoxification processes in nature.

Sometimes air cleaners are promoted to remove indoor mold or associated odors, and some of these are designed to produce ozone. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent that is used as a disinfectant in water and sometimes to eliminate odors. However, ozone is a known lung irritant. Ozone generators have been shown to sometimes produce indoor levels above the safe limit.

Most definitely. The EPA and Homeland Security have tested the Bio-Wall and on a single pass, it killed 93% of anthrax surrogate, 99.97% of spore-producing bacteria and 99% of a common hospital virus.

Generally, if conditions are favorable for mold to have grown in the attic and the mold is still alive, cold winter temperatures will slow or stop the mold from growing. However, molds produce spores with resilient outer coatings that allow many of them to remain alive through harsh conditions including long dry spells and cold temperatures. Thus, when the attic warms up again, and sufficient moisture is present, growth resumes.

For asthmatics who have severe reactive airways disease and multiple chemical sensitivities, using an ozone generator in the home will cause their health conditions to worsen. During a recent study, the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) has concluded that ozone's status as a health and air pollutant makes it unsuitable for use as an air-purification agent.

Although it never a good practice to harm vampires (being a hunter won't get you any points on this newsgroup), let alone kill them, some of the more favored methods of destroying a vampire are included in section [2.04] in the Traditional FAQ located at http://www.altvampyres.net/newsgroup/faq.

Not likely. There have been documented cases of malignant chances associated with Endometriosis and higher risks of certain cancers in women with the disease, but Endometriosis itself is classified as a benign illness.
