oxigenante

An oxigenante is a substance or product that is designed to increase the oxygen content or availability in a specific environment. This term is often used in various contexts, including water treatment, agriculture, and even in some cosmetic or therapeutic applications.

In water treatment, oxigenantes are used to improve the dissolved oxygen levels in lakes, ponds, or wastewater. Low dissolved oxygen can be detrimental to aquatic life and can lead to unpleasant odors. These products often release oxygen directly or stimulate the natural processes that produce oxygen.

In agriculture, oxigenantes can be applied to soil to enhance aeration, which is beneficial for root growth and nutrient uptake. Improved soil oxygenation can help prevent root rot and create a more favorable environment for beneficial microorganisms.

The term "oxigenante" might also appear in discussions about certain topical treatments or supplements. In these cases, the claim is typically that the product will deliver more oxygen to the skin or tissues, potentially promoting healing or rejuvenation. However, the scientific basis for such claims can vary significantly. The primary function remains the enhancement of oxygen levels.
