Ozone Gas Exposure Effects, Health Risk Factors, Limits & Standards |
||
| Health Effects of Ozone | Factors that Increase Health Risks from Ozone Exposure | Ozone Exposure Standards |
| Asthma aggravation or asthma attacks due to ozone exposure | Airborne ozone concentration increase means increased exposure indoors | US FDA Ozone Exposure Generation Limits: ozone output of indoor medical devices shall be no more than 0.05 ppm. |
| Chest pain due to Ozone exposure | Longer exposure times to ozone may increase some health effects | OSHA Ozone exposure limits (apply to workplace exposure to ozone): workers shall not be exposed to an average concentration of more than 0.10 ppm for 8 hours. |
| Loss of lung capacity or lung function due to ozone exposure | Higher rate of respiration - breathing faster - may increase the health effects of ozone exposure, such as exercising in an area of high ozone concentration, or people (such as infants and pets) who have a higher natural respiration rate. | NIOSH Ozone exposure limits: upper limit of 0.10 ppm, not to be exceeded at any time. (This is a recommendation). |
| Lung irritation / respiratory infection risk due to ozone exposure | Pre-existing conditions can increase the risk of health effects of ozone exposure such as people suffering from asthma or COPD. | U.S. EPA Air Quality Standard for Ozone: in the United States, the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone is a maximum 8 hour average outdoor concentration of 0.08 ppm |
| Lung infection due to ozone exposure | ||
| Shortness of breath due to ozone exposure | ||
| Throat irritation & cough | ||

Ozone gas exposure hazards are further detailed at OZONE AIR PURIFIER WARNINGS and at Ozone Gas. Quoting from that article,
For ozone, that "threshold" concentration is 0.1 ppm. So long as concentrations are kept at or below that level, injury is not expected even in the most sensitive workers so long as their exposure durations coincide reasonably well with or are less than the 8 hr/day, 40 hr/wk regimen.
This "threshold" ozone gas exposure level is accepted by the American Conference of Government al Industrial Hygienists (and is called the Threshold Limit Value by that organization) and by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA.
