Summary:
The published results show that ozone can be an effective disinfectant in the gas-phase, successfully inactivating (more than 3 log10) up to 28 different viruses of the 29 tested, including SARS-CoV-2, according to 2 works which tested it satisfactorily. Ozone has proven to disinfect airborne viruses at very low concentrations, inactivating about 3–4 log10 from 0.1 to 0.4 mg L-1 min
