In current times of increasing global decontamination concerns, sustainable and environmentally-friendly technologies that possess rapid effective disinfection capabilities are necessary for public health safety. this study, we evaluate the potential ozone-based technology to reveal its immense in applications. Ozonated water generated by an electrolytic method was utilised quantify ozone reten...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different whitening toothpastes, focusing on the experimental ozonated toothpaste. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This laboratory study included a sample of 48 sound human molar teeth. Teeth were randomly assigned into four groups according to toothpaste treatment to be evaluated objectively (colorimetric method) and subject...

Objective(s):Cutaneous Leishmaniasis is a common and endemic disease in Khorasan province in North-East of Iran. The pentavalant antimony (Sb V) is the mainstay of treatment that has many side effects and resistance to the drug has been reported. The microbicidal effect of ozone was proven in different microorganisms. Since there is no study in this respect and to achieve a low cost and effecti...

A pilot study has been performed on fifty COPD patients: besides using effective drugs, half of the patients have been treated also with major ozonated autohaemotherapy. This treatment has been evaluated during the last two decades and is absolutely atoxic: the treated patients have shown a significant improvement of the six minute walking test and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire total s...

The taxonomic diversity and antibiotic resistance phenotypes of aeromonads were examined in samples from drinking and waste water treatment plants (surface, ground and disinfected water in a drinking water treatment plant, and raw and treated waste water) and tap water. Bacteria identification and intra-species variation were determined based on the analysis of the 16S rRNA, gyrB and cpn60 gene...

A survey of 16 US drinking water treatment plants was conducted on the occurrence, formation, and control of emerging disinfection by-products (DBPs). The formation and control trends of certain emerging carbonaceous (haloacetaldehyde) and nitrogenous (haloacetonitrile, halonitromethane, cyanogen halide, nitrosamine) DBPs were different from those of the regulated trihalomethanes (THMs). This w...
