Since 1900 ozone has been used quite extensively as an oxidant and disinfectant in European waters. Because of the expense and other problems involved with using ozonators, ozone has not been favorably received in the US. Recently, however, technologists have discovered methods for controlling or eliminating a majority of the problems; moreover, water‐treatment researchers have found that ozone possesses additional favorable characteristics other than a pleasant odor.
