• In other times, there did not seem to be as many potentially infectious or communicable diseases such as flesh eating viruses, AIDS, HIV and Hepititis.

• In other times, there were no such things as terrorism or bioterrorists. Now the situation has changed and we need to be ready to deal with these changes.

With all of the new problems we face everyday, crime scene cleanup and trauma cleanup has become a new and very important need in our society. With this need comes the need to go beyond a mop and bucket. Even after the scene has been cleaned up, there is still the need for odor removal, as well as airborne and microscopic pathogen removal. Ozone generators have been used for years to deal with these problems.There are courses given in crime scene clean up and trauma clean up that recommend the use of ozone generators.
