7 AIRBORNE ROS
Reactive Oxygen Species
| OH Hydroxyl Radicals – Highly Reactive – Leads to the formation of H2O2 – Reactive with pollutants and starts decomposition by cracking – Destroys VOC by removing of a hydrogen (H) atom forming water (H2O) and alkyl Radical (R•) |
| ₁O₂ Singlet Oxygen (Dioxidene) – Highly Reactive toward organic compounds – Participates in reaction to form H2O2 – Paramagnetism – Attracts organic compounds that results in oxidation |
| O₂₋ Superoxide – Reactive oxygen ion – Anion – Free radical – HO2 hydroperoxyl – Paramagnetism – Attracts organic compounds that results in oxidation |
| O(3P) Atomic Oxygen – Highly reactive and quickly bonds with molecules – Free Radical forms into O3 |
| ONOO- Peroxynitrite (Peroxonitrite) – Oxidant – Ion – Damages a wide array of molecules in cells. Including DNA & Proteins. |
| Exits HVCP Chamber Into Environment: Longer lived ROS (minutes to hours) |
| O₃ Ozone (Trioxygen) – Triatomic allotrope – Most powerful oxidant – Sanitizer – Decontamination – Destroys Mold, VOC, Etc. – Low levels are not powerful to be effective with ozone alone! We keep setpoints at 30ppb (parts per billion). – Half-life varies with atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, and air movement. |
| H₂O₂ Hydrogen Peroxide – Gas Phased – Deodorize air – Oxidizer – Antiseptic – Sanitizer – Antimicrobial agent – Destroyed by light |
| Bonus: Created By Ozone And Hydrogen Peroxide |
| H₂O₃ Hydrogen Trioxide – Trioxidane – Active Antimicrobial formed through peroxone process with O3 and H2O2 mix – Approximately 12min half-life |
