Publication number: 20040121021Abstract: A substrate impregnated with an indicator that bleaches at an approximately linear rate in relation to the concentration of ozone in an aqueous solution. The color-impregnated substrate provides a visual determination that sufficient ozonation disinfection of a surface has occurred by using a direct measurement of the Ct value rather than just the measurement of an instantaneous concentration of ozone. The substrate may be used in a system for disinfecting a surface comprising means for contacting a surface to be disinfected with ozone, wherein one or more indicator-impregnated substrates are proximate to the surface; and means for comparing the second color to known colors of the indicator that correspond to different ozone Ct values. When the second color matches the known color for a target Ct value, a predetermined level of disinfection has been accomplished.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2002Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Zoran Minevski, Jason Maxey
