Influence of ozone on human body is ambiguous. Low concentration of this gas well affect health, raised are harmful to the person. Especially it is relevant for office rooms where ozone is formed during the operation of photocopiers and printers.
Advantage of ozonization of air
Ozone, or "gas with thunderstorm smell" on chemical structure is trivalent oxygen. It has strong oxidizing properties, destroys the majority of organic compounds therefore it is irreplaceable at air purification of rooms. In small concentration ozone has positive effect on health of employees. Ozone oxidizes impurity of various substances and disinfects air. It partially destroys covers of viruses, the elementary, damages mold, fungi.
Ozonization of air at office by means of special devices - ozonizers - allows employees to breathe clean air even at the closed windows. During operating time of these devices all chemicals, smoke, organic allergens turn into connections, harmless to the person, in air the oxygen content increases, viruses and bacteria are destroyed. Ozonization eliminates all unpleasant smells (tobacco smoke, sweat, footwear and other), without resorting to the help of fragrances of air.
During ozonization of air it is recommended to leave the room. After air purification office it is necessary to air or not to come into it within one-two hours.
Use of ozonizers at offices with heaters and conditioners is very relevant. In such rooms, air loses oxygen, and toxic components become more. At workers "the syndrome of the enclosed space", its symptoms can be shown: fatigue, headache, frequent catarrhal diseases. These problems can be avoided if to use air ozonizers at office. The concentration of ozone developed by ozonizer depend on the volume of the room, air humidity and temperature. They have no negative impact on human body.
Negative effect of ozone on human body
Ozone at office is formed during the operation of the copy equipment, printers. The modern office equipment is equipped with special ozone filters, however at their damage gas can get to the external environment. The employees who are in office with the increased concentration of ozone can have allergy, violation of pulmonary activity, appearance of headache, gripes in eyes, nausea, irritations in throat is possible.
The increased concentration of ozone in air is defined very easily - such air will have "has begun to smell thunderstorms".
The people inhaling such air quickly are tired, differ in the lowered resistance to stress. Besides, scientists have proved that the increased concentration of ozone in air promote developing of cancer diseases, negatively influence the central nervous system. That to avoid it, the room where there is office equipment, it is regularly required to air.
