Historical Origins
In 1856, just 16 years after its discovery, ozone was first used in a health care setting to disinfect operating rooms and sterilize surgical instruments. By the end of the 19th century the use of ozone to disinfect drinking water of bacteria and viruses was well established in mainland Europe. In 1892 The Lancet published an article describing the administration of ozone for treatment of tuberculosis. In 1902 another article was published claiming success in treating chronic middle ear deafness with ozone. Ozone was used during the First World War to disinfect wounds.
