But Patients with a history of prolonged gastritis and intestinal metaplasia have a 6-fold increase in their risk of developing gastric cancer. The risk is especially high if the intestinal metaplasia is type-3.
What is ozone? Ozone, or O3, is a gas containing three oxygen atoms. Ozone is an unstable chemical that is highly reactive with other gases in the air. Ozone at ground level is unhealthy and is a component of smog. Ozone found high up in the atmosphere, called stratospheric ozone, protects us by shielding us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) light.
Ozone is the unstable, highly reactive triatomic form of Oxygen. Oxygen is O2 while Ozone is O3. In order for Oxygen to form into Ozone, Oxygen molecules must be âpulled apartâ and reformed. This takes energy in the form of electrical excitation of Oxygen which pulls apart Oxygen molecules. This is usually accomplished with High Voltage (Corona Discharge) Ozone Generators. Once pulled apart, most revert back to the stable form of Oxygen. However, some of the Oxygen is converted into Ozone in this process.
