English term or phrase: degrading chemical compounds
Bonjour à tous,

On parle ici d'un processus de désinfection à l'ozone à utiliser au sein des salles de sport pour lutter contre tous les types de micro-organismes.

"Used as a disinfectant, Ozone acts rapidly at low concentrations both in air and water, quickly and efficiently eliminating fungi, bacteria, viruses, and protazoa as well as degrading chemical compounds such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and those responsible for bad odours, leading to its secondary benefit of deodorisation."

Comment comprenez-vous "degrading" dans ce contexte ?

"composés chimiques altérés" ? "en dégradation"/"en décomposition" ?

Merci à vous et bonne journée

agree  Samuel Deleuze: "Degrading" n'est pas adjectif de "chemical compounds" : il s'agit de l'action de l'ozone sur les composés chimiques. C'est une liste de 2 actions : "eliminating fungi, etc." et "degrading chemical compounds".
