Ozone is colourless at all concentrations. It has a pungent, characteristic odour, usually associated with electrical sparks.

The odour is generally detectable by the human nose at concentrations from 0,02 ppm to 0,05 ppm.

Ozone is a triatomic molecule, consisting of three oxygen atoms.

Ozone is colourless but has a characteristic smell

Ozone can be measured in ppm or in µg/m3

Ozone can be created trough Corona discharge or ultraviolet light

Ozone oxidizes almost all organic compounds

Ozone is an unstable gas which breaks down compounds, substances and microorganisms such as:

• Odours

• Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)

• Ammonia (N3)

• Grease

• Viruses

• Moulds

• Bacteria

SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR OZONE

Safety legislations in your own locality must be followed when using ozone. In Sweden the Swedish Work Environment Authority issues the following limits for ozone exposure:

• 0,1ppm (during a working day, 8 hours)

• 0,3ppm (during 15 minutes)

At acute levels of exposure, ozone can present serious medical hazards to SKIN, EYES and LUNGS.

Always take precautions if ozone is detected in any way while working in an indoor environment.
