Abstract:

Ozone in concentrations above 0,05 ppm. causes headaches, nausea and respiratory troubles. On the basis of numerous toxicological investigations the MAC value maximum allowable concentration for ozone has been fixed temporarily at 0,05 ppm. The ozone concentrations measured in the atmosphere vary between 0,02 and 0,05 ppm. In industry generators, electrofilters and projection cameras have been shown to cause ozone concentrations from 0,04 to 0,1 ppm. Ozonizers bring about concentrations between 0,02 and 0,03 ppm. Although it is often recommended, the use of ozonizers in rooms is to be rejected as no evidence of favourable effects could be found for concentrations within the limits of human tolerance in addition, an increase in the ozone concentration is not perceivable and therefore health may be negatively affected.
