The catastrophic large-scale release is not likely because ozone is produced on-demand and generator shutdown stops ozone supply Ozone is not explosive or flammable Leaks are identifiable – repaired when they occur Health Hazards of Ozone Depending on the concentration, exposure to ozone can result in immediate or chronic health problems, in high enough concentration, even death Ozone Concentration (ppm) Duration of exposure Effect 0.01 – Odor threshold 0.1 – Minor eye, nose, and throat irritation 0.1-0.25 2-5 hours Headache, dry cough, and some reduction in lung function 0.3 2 hours Reduction in lung function during moderate work for all persons more than 0.6 2 hours Chest pain 1 1-2 hours Lung irritation (coughing) severe fatigue 1.5 2 Reduce ability to think clearly; continuing cough and extreme fatigue may last for two weeks; severe lung irritation and pulmonary edema 9 Intermittent Severe pneumonia 11 15 min Rapid unconsciousness 50 30 min Expected to be fatal Exposure level Exposure limite 0.05 ppm Maximum Allowable concentration averaged over an eight-hour period for heavy work 0.08 ppm Maximum Allowable concentration averaged over an eight-hour period for moderate work 0.1 ppm Maximum Allowable concentration averaged over an eight-hour period for light work 0.2 ppm Maximum (short-term) exposure limit for light, moderate or heavy work, for less than or equal to 2 hours 10 ppm Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health Data from “Ozone Manual of Standard Practice”, Workers Compensation Board of British Columbia, 1992 Please contact us now to learn more about the safety advantages of ozone in your particular application Have Questions?
