title: [The role of ozone within the scope of the "Figurella Program"].
abstract: The method given by the slimming institute "Figurella International", to lose weight without applying chemistry or dieting, is scrutinized critically. The ozone treatment, one of the compounds of the method, proves to be useless. To overcome the general problem caused by photochemical oxidants the company should be set under pressure to stand back from producing ozone, which proves to be a major air pollutant but not to have any effect on the result of the slimming programme.
