Kill Ozone Generators Mold-Kill.com IS OZONE HARMFUL AND WHAT IF ANY ARE THE LONG TERM EFFECTS?
Ozone has been documented for over a century now, so quite a lot is known about it. OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Agency has stipulated that the safe allowable level of residual ozone is .08 ppm. This is supposedly based upon the historical safety of ozone. Note that this permissible level is for continuous exposure throughout an entire 8 hour day for 5 days a week. No Federal or State agency can agree an what the maximum level of ozone exposure should be, so there is no standardization in maximum permissible ozone levels. That signifies these numbers are arbitrary, meaning they are not really sure of what a maximum sustainable ozone level should be. Since excess ozone gives off an unmistakable strong “bleach like” odor, one always know if too much is present in the air. In other words before ozone could possibly have any unsafe effects, one would be greatly offended by it’s odor. Ozone is safe to use in occupied areas because we notice it’s unpleasant odor at very low levels.
