Ozone
Ozone (O3)
is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Specifications we measure
| Range | Resolution | Technology | Sensor Module | |
| 5 PPM | 0.01 | EC | ES-O3-3EC5 | |
| 100 PPM | 0.01 | EC | ES-O3-4EC100 | |
| 50 PPM | 0.01 | EC | ES-O3-4EC50 |
oSHA Guidelines
- TWA : 0.1 ppm (8 -hr)
Health effects
- Ozone is highly toxic via inhalation or by contact of liquid to skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.
- It is capable of causing acute to chronic lung damage, burns, and death or permanent injury.
- Ozone can be toxic at a concentration of 100 ppm for 1 minute.
- Ozone is capable of causing death from pulmonary edema.
- It increases sensitivity of the lungs to bronchoconstrictors and allergens, increases susceptibility to and severity of lung bacterial and viral infections
