Ozon – O3

Ozone here  ( O3 gas) – trioxygen also known as – suitable detection equipment – O3 ozone detector  – and respiratory protective equipment – ABEK-P3 with combined filter You can find basic information about gas mask or powered air purifying respirator .

Ozone properties (O3)

naturally occurring in the atmosphere trioxygen ( O3 ) – most commonly ozone known as – is naturally released by nitrogen oxides (NOx). Ozone is also produced industrially by electric shocks in tube generators. It is used in wastewater treatment (water ionization), but is also used in printing work (laser radiation) and arc welding with inert gases.

Health effects of ozone

Ozone ( O3 ) pollution, detectable from 0.01 ppm onwards, bleach-like sharp It varies from colorless to blue with an odor. Ozone, which is not flammable, is a strong oxidizer and can cause explosions. Although its toxicity depends on several factors (temperature, pressure, concentration), ozone is effective for the respiratory system (lungs, nose, throat). it is very harmful and eyes may cause irritation.

Ozone detector – O3

Although O3 is scented, it is only a ozone meter (or ozone sensor ) can accurately measure concentrations of this highly toxic gas. Therefore, suitable fixed or portable ppm ozone detection It is recommended to use equipment.

O3 gas respiratory protection – ozone

Since ozone irritates the eyes, use it only for short interventions. full face mask or With combination filter ABEK-P3 fully equipped powered air purifying respirator (or PAPR) is recommended. If concentrations exceed 60 times the OEL, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required.
