The objective of this integrative literature review was to find evidence to support using ozone as a sterilizing agent for health products. The search was performed on the following bases: MEDLINE, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, COMPENDEX, INSPEC and ENGINEERING RESEARCH DATABASE; using ozone and sterilization as descriptors. Five articles were found between 1990 and 2008, which tested ozone as a sterilizer. All studies used the same type of investigation (experimental laboratory study) and achieved sterilization with ozone, but with different scopes and products, besides using different methodological procedures. Considering the ever-growing technology for new products, with the vast range of forms and materials, the findings point at ozone sterilization as a promising method, but still in an initial phase of investigation. Further experimental studies are needed to provide broader evidence regarding the possibilities and limitations of ozone sterilization.
这篇综合文献综述的目的是寻找证据支持将臭氧用作健康产品的消毒剂。检索基于以下数据库进行：医学文献数据库（MEDLINE）、斯高帕斯数据库（SCOPUS）、考克兰系统评价数据库（COCHRANE）、工程索引数据库（COMPENDEX）、科学文摘数据库（INSPEC）和工程研究数据库；使用臭氧和消毒作为描述词。在1990年至2008年间找到了五篇测试臭氧作为消毒剂的文章。所有研究都采用了相同类型的调查（实验性实验室研究），并用臭氧实现了消毒，但除了使用不同的方法程序外，研究范围和产品也各不相同。考虑到新产品技术的不断发展，以及产品形式和材料的广泛多样，研究结果表明臭氧消毒是一种有前景的方法，但仍处于初步研究阶段。需要进一步的实验研究来提供关于臭氧消毒的可能性和局限性的更广泛证据。
