Do you know the hazard of ozone gas and how to detect it?

What is ozone gas?

The molecular formula of ozone is O₃. It is a sky blue smelly gas, the liquid is dark black, and the solid is blue-black. Ozone hole Ozone mainly exists in the ozone layer at the lower part of the stratosphere 20 kilometers away from the earth's surface. It absorbs, blocks and weakens short-wave ultraviolet rays that are harmful to the human body and prevents them from reaching the earth.

When the ozone concentration in the environment is high, it is also an environmental pollution gas. It is one of the greenhouse effect gases. It kills bacteria and also damages human cells. In the static area and next to the printer, pay attention to ventilation to avoid Toxic effects caused by high ozone concentration.

Which function do ozone gas have?

1. Sterilization

Ozone is a strong oxidant, and the sterilization process is a biochemical oxidation reaction. Ozone sterilization has the following three forms: 

a. Ozone can oxidize the enzymes needed to decompose the bacteria inside to degrade glucose, so that the TCA cycle cannot be carried out, resulting in the inability of the supply of ATP required for the life activities of the cells, inactivating the bacteria to die. 

b. Directly interact with bacteria and viruses, destroy their organelles and DNA, RNA, and destroy the metabolism of bacteria, leading to the death of bacteria. 

c. Through the cell membrane tissue, invade the cell, the lipoprotein and lipopolysaccharide inside the outer membrane, make the bacteria permeable distortion and dissolve and die.

2. Disinfection

Domestic ozone technology has gradually matured, and ozone has gradually been known to people. Due to its strong disinfection ability, it has replaced conventional disinfection and has been applied to various fields: indoor disinfection, fruit and vegetable preservation and disinfection, environmental resource protection, medical Hygiene field, food industry disinfection field, poultry breeding disinfection field, agricultural disinfection field.

What benefits and harms of ozone to human beings?

Harm to humans:

Low concentration ozone can be disinfected. In general, the ozone concentration in the forest area can reach 0.1ppm, but the ozone exceeding the standard is an invisible killer!

▲ Ozone can stimulate the mucus membrane, it is toxic to the human body, it is not safe to breathe in the air containing 0.1ppm ozone for a long time. 

▲ It strongly stimulates people's respiratory tract, causing sore throat, chest tightness, cough, bronchitis and emphysema.

▲ Ozone can cause nerve poisoning, dizziness, headache, vision loss, memory loss, shortness of breath, fatigue, nose bleeding.

▲ Ozone will destroy the vitamin E in human skin, causing the skin to wrinkle and appear black spots.

▲ Ozone will also destroy the body's immune function, induce lymphocyte chromosome disease, accelerate aging, and cause pregnant women to have deformities.

 Therefore, the harm caused by ozone and organic waste gas must arouse people's attention.

Benefits for humans:

Allotrope of oxygen, each molecule is composed of three oxygen atoms. When it exists in the stratosphere, it helps protect organisms on Earth from ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays affect human health in many ways. The human body will suffer from sunburn, eye diseases, changes in the immune system, photo-variable reactions, and skin diseases (including skin cancer).

How to detect the concentration of Ozone gas?

Detect the ozone gas concentration in disinfected place usually uses ozone gas detector,portable and fixed are both ok, portable is convenient and economical,fixed is continuous and safe. Our ozone gas detector uses electrochemistry principle sensor,which have good sensitivety and high precision,can detect ozone gas concetration from 0.01ppm,CE and ATEX approved.If you need it,please contact us for more details.
