The ozonizer helps to saturate room air with ozone. Ozone is a gas which molecules consist of three atoms of oxygen. It belongs to toxic substances in this connection it is clear not to all, harm or benefit are brought by an ozonizer.
How does the ozonizer work?
In an ozonizer the natural process – a thunderstorm is reproduced. Lightning discharges in the device replace weaker categories of electricity thanks to what double molecules of oxygen are split and connect in threefold molecules of ozone.
If the dilemma pro or is contra solved in favor of an ozonizer, it is necessary to know that the high-quality device cannot cost little too. The ozonizer has to conform to standards and standards of safety and quality about what there is an instruction on packing. Besides, concentration of the ozone emitted by an air ozonizer for the house has to be lower than 0.1 mg/m3 (or 0.1 mkg/l). If this indicator is not specified, such device should not be bought.
Ozonizer and its properties
The ozonizer is very often confused with the ionizer which operation can also cause release of ozone. However only low-quality ionizers which use it is necessary to refuse as uncontrollable formation of ozone can become the reason of serious problems "sin" with it.
Excessive concentration of ozone in air (more than 7-10%) is fraught with trouble breathing or paralysis of lungs at the people who are in the room. That the ozonizer does harm will signal such symptoms:
- weariness;
- gripes in eyes;
- nausea;
- irritation in a throat;
- cough:
- headache.
Badly electronics also reacts to excess of ozone. This gas destroys rubber, polymers, metals (except gold, platinum, iridium). Entering relationship with various objects, ozone can form toxic impurity therefore even during the normal work of an ozonizer the room should be aired.
The advantage of an ozonizer is that it is capable to disinfect room air that especially relevant in the presence in the house of the diseased. Ozone is pernicious for viruses, bacteria, microbes, fungi and other microorganisms. For this reason most often ozonizers acquire hospitals and policlinics. Small concentration of ozone deodorizes room air, oxidizing odorous organic matter. It becomes easier to breathe after work of an ozonizer.
In medicine ozone is used for treatment of skin diseases, wounds, burns, varicosity and even obesity. Except air clarification, ozonizers use for water disinfection – in water treatment constructions, pools, aquariums, fisheries.
