In fact, ozone itself is a “contradictory complex”. Ozone kills viruses and cures diseases, but if the concentration is too high, it becomes a toxic gas that is dangerous to the human body. Excessive inhalation of ozone can cause respiratory, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular disease, destroy the human body’s immune function, and cause neurotoxicity. To prevent the effects of ozone on the human body, it is possible to take measures such as paying attention to ventilation, turning on air purifiers, increasing exercise, and wearing masks.

At present, ozone generators are relatively popular disinfection and sterilization equipment.When producing ozone concentration standards, the use of ozone generators can achieve good disinfection and sterilization effects without side effects, but ozone When the standard concentration of ozone is exceeded, the following dangers occur when the ozone concentration exceeds the standard value.

1. It strongly irritates the human respiratory tract, increases respiratory and cardiovascular mortality, and causes sore throat, chest tightness and cough, bronchitis and emphysema.

2. Ozone can cause neurotoxicity, dizziness, headaches, blurred vision and memory loss.

3. Ozone can damage the immune function of the human body, especially children, the elderly, pregnant women and other populations with low immunity, induce chromosomal changes in lymphocytes, accelerate aging, and cause malformed babies in pregnant women. may cause birth. .

4. Ozone destroys vitamin E in human skin, causing wrinkles and blemishes on human skin.

5. Ozone is an eye irritant and can also reduce visual sensitivity and vision.

6. Ozone and organic waste gases are potent carcinogens Ozone and organic waste gases produced from copier toner are also potent carcinogens and can cause various cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

How to prevent ozone from harming the human body

1. In the afternoon when the ozone concentration is high, it is necessary to reduce going out and outdoor activities as much as possible, and reduce the indoor ventilation frequency appropriately.

2. If the room is closed, using the air conditioning system or turning on the room air purifier will lower the ozone concentration. Computer rooms and computer rooms are places where ozone is high, but you need to pay attention to ventilation.

4. Increased physical activity is required during normal times to improve physical fitness and reduce upper respiratory tract irritation and pollution damage.

5. From the point of view of protective tools, most PM2.5 masks can only play a limited role against the smaller ozone molecules. The most effective way to remove ozone with a mask is to add a layer of activated carbon to the material layer.This special mask was originally designed specifically for welders, miners, decorators and laboratory personnel. It was a proven safety product.

In general, ozone generator, as an important air and water treatment equipment, achieves sterilization, deodorization and disinfection of air and water by ionizing oxygen molecules into ozone molecules. Ozone generators are very important in improving indoor air and water quality and are widely used in various fields.
