The Potential Toxicity of Ozone: Side Effects and Contraindications of Ozonetherapy

Abstract

One reason for the unpopularity of ozonetherapy in the medical field is that toxicity of ozone is considered equal to that of ROS. In fact, there are substantial differences because ozonetherapy is occasional and can be controlled whereas endogenous ROS formation goes on unperturbed throughout life (Farber et al., 1990; Ames et al., 1993).
