A sterilization apparatus has an oxygen concentrator (108) which produces oxygen gas. The oxygen concentrator is connected to an ozone generator (102) whereby ozone is generated in the oxygen gas. The resulting gas is humidified to form a humidified ozone/oxygen mixture. The mixture is irradiated with ultraviolet light (106) to form a sterilant of hydrogen peroxide, ozone, hydroxyls, and oxygen ions. The sterilant is moved from a creation chamber to a contact chamber (112) whereby the sterilant is applied to living matter. The living matter is rendered nonviable. In a method of sterilization, a sterilant gas is formed by concentration oxygen, generating ozone from the oxygen, humidifying the mixture of ozone and oxygen, irradiating the humidified mixture of ozone and oxygen with ultraviolet light forming a sterilant that can be remotely delivered. |
