title: Antimicrobial activity of electrolyzed saline solutions.
abstract: Electrolysis of solutions containing certain electrolytes, through the use of novel electrodes, produces significant levels of ozone, oxygen, and chlorine at the anode. The process works at ordinary temperatures, and with dilute solutions. These solutions, after electrolysis, can be much more effective, by a factor of several hundred, against microorganisms than solutions containing comparable hypochlorite solutions.
