Highlights
- Ozonized water is characterized as a potential antimicrobial agent
- O3concentration increases according to the temperature variation and the pH of the water.
- A higher concentration of O3in water at 4 °C and pH 5 resulted in greater efficacy in the decontamination process.
- Ozonized water at 0.6 ppm can be used as a sanitizing agent.
- Ozonized water was shown to be biocompatible , as it did not present cytotoxic effects in mammalian cells.
- Ozonized water may be considered a viable alternative for microbial control, including for use in disinfection methodologies or devices (even for human use) to replace biocidal agents considered toxic by regulatory agencies.
