Bio-hazardous Waste - Defined
Bio-hazardous waste means waste that requires biological inactivation in
an approved manner prior to final disposal and includes the following:
human cell lines and tissue cultures; organisms with recombinant DNA;
cultures and stocks of infectious agents; potentially infectious bacteria,
viruses, and spores; toxins; live and attenuated vaccines; blood and blood
products; carcasses; tissue specimens; recognizable human or animal
body parts; soil with pathogens; and lab-ware that has come in contact
with aforementioned waste streams. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab)
Waste generated by health care activities includes a broad range of materials, from used
needles and syringes to soiled dressings, body parts, diagnostic samples, blood, chemicals,
pharmaceuticals, medical devices and radioactive materials.
Poor management of health care waste potentially exposes health care workers, waste
handlers, patients and the community at large to infection, toxic effects and injuries, and risks
polluting the environment. It is essential that all medical waste materials are segregated at the
point of generation, appropriately treated and disposed of safely. World Health Organization WHO (www.who.int)
OZONE
OZONE purifies and sanitizes the air we breathe, the water we drink, and food
we eat.
OZONE is a form of oxygen, consisting of three oxygen molecules (O3). Unlike
diatomic oxygen (O2 the breathable oxygen present in the atmosphere), ozone
is very unstable, and decays back into O2 within about 30 minutes under
normal atmospheric conditions.
OZONE is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is able to oxidize a number of molecules including
metals, nitrogen oxides, carbon, ammonia, and sulfides to mention a few.
OZONE is effective to kill essentially all pathogens including bacteria, fungi, viruses, as well
as prions.
OZONE is of particular value as a disinfectant, as it is able to promote the oxidation of
carbon-carbon double bonds (C=C). This type of bond is found in many biological molecules,
and in other types of organic compounds, most notably pharmaceuticals.
3-O2 => 2-O3
The Facts about Ozone
• Ozone in use as a sterilizing agent for over 100 years
• Proven operational safety and efficacy
• Kills all known pathogens and virus
• Does not promote resistance
• Leaves no residues
• Nature’s most effective and efficient bactericides and fungicides
• OZONATOR technology is certified 6 log10 reduction using ozone
• Ozone converts back to oxygen naturally
• Ozone is 1.66 times heavier than air
• Standard biological indicators used for regular testing and verification
Water – 0.5 liters of water is injected into the treatment
chamber each cycle to provide a relative humidity (RH) of
greater than 70% for the waste material.
The injected water helps disburse the ozone in the
chamber.
Additionally, water vapor in the presence of ozone, will form
hydroxyl radicals to support the sterilization of the waste,
specifically destroying oxidative cells and red blood cells.
OZONE EFFECTS ON BACTERIA, VIRUSES AND MOLDS
Bacteria are microscopically small, single-cell creatures having a primitive structure.
The bacteria body is sealed by a relatively solid-cell membrane. Ozone interferes with
the metabolism of bacterium-cells, through inhibiting and blocking the operation of the
enzymatic control system. A sufficient amount of ozone breaks through the cell
membrane, and this leads to the destruction of the bacteria.
OZONE destroys all known virus and pathogens
VIRUS
Viruses are small, independent particles, built of crystals and
macromolecules, Unlike bacteria, they multiply only within the host
cell. They transform protein of the host cell into proteins of their own.
Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the
nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA. At higher
concentrations, ozone destroys the capsid, or exterior protein shell by
oxidation so DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), or RNA (ribonucleic acid)
structures of the microorganism are affected.

The Canadian Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program is
delivered by ETV Canada under a license agreement from Environment Canada. The Canadian
ETV Program is designed to support Canada’s environment industry by providing credible and
independent verification of technology performance claims.
Performance Claim The efficacy of the Ozonator NG-1000 for treating bio-hazardous and regulated medical wastes
has been tested employing a surrogate bacterium, Bacillus subtilus (B. atrophaeus), and a
surrogate waste composed of 10% glass/sharp, 30% plastic, 20% paper, 20% cloth/woven
materials, and 20% liquids/organics. The waste was shredded, loaded into the treatment
chamber and ozonated for 900 seconds (or 15 minutes). The ozone concentration in the
treatment chamber ranged from 4000 to 8000 ppm; temperature ranged between 17 to 24 °C;
and humidity was between 70 and 100%. Test results show the Ozonator NG-1000 was able to
kill B. subtilus and reduce its viability by at least 6 orders of magnitude or 6 log10 with 95%
confidence.
The Ozonator Industries’ NG-1000 employs ozone for inactivation of pathogens and infectious
disease-causing agents after shredding the waste and reducing its volume by about 90%. The
Ozonator NG-1000 is designed to treat bio-hazardous and regulated medical wastes either on-
site or off-site.
A cleaner, safer environment
HEALTH CARE WITHOUT HARM
HCWH GIVES THE OZONE TECHNOLOGY THE "GREEN“ LIGHT.
After an extensive review, Health Care Without Harm, a global coalition of 443
organizations in 52 countries that work together to protect health by reducing
pollution in the health care industry, have added the patented technology developed
by Ozonator Industries to their list of approved Non-Incineration Medical Waste
Treatment Technologies.
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
Waste generated by health care activities includes a broad range of
materials, from used needles and syringes to soiled dressings, body
parts, diagnostic samples, blood, chemicals, pharmaceuticals,
medical devices and radioactive materials.
Poor management of health care waste potentially exposes health care workers, waste
handlers, patients and the community at large to infection, toxic effects and injuries, and risks
polluting the environment. It is essential that all medical waste materials are segregated at the
point of generation, appropriately treated and disposed of safely.
“To reduce the burden of disease, health-care waste needs sound
management, including alternatives to incineration.”
Sustainable Technology NG-3000
The OZONATOR technology is sustainable.
By using ozone technology, we no longer need to put the environment at risk.
Using only oxygen from air (converted to ozone), a small amount of water, less than 2
liters per hour and a little electricity, results in a very small environmental footprint and
a large step forward towards a cleaner and safer environment.
