Ozone generators

[Flodas]

Hello im woundering how mutch mg/h my generator has to produce to effectively depollute a room on 10sq meeters? Is it any dangerous to have the generator on meanwhile im in the room for 5 or 6 Hours?

And the last question is if u know any european site that sells ozone generators that are good and cheap i can only find Americans and the shipping is kinnda expensive. / Flodas

The Ozone machine shouldn't be in your grow room.
Place it in the area inbetween it and your living space, and or inside your vent to the outdoors.
Hope this helps

Good Luck!

Googleing- ozone safety limits

I found this, yes after a threshold it's bad.

Notes on Other Potential Health Effects and Hazards

Ozone can increase sensitivity to bronchoconstrictors and allergens and may facilitate the development of asthma. In fact, thunderstorm events (when pollen and ozone are at higher levels), have coincided with up to 10-fold increases in asthma hospital admissions (Anderson et al. 2001).
Systemically, ozone has been reported to mimic the effects of ionizing radiation, including damage to chromosomal structures. There does, however, appear to be a partial tolerance to this with repeated exposure (NIOSH 1978).
In bleachery workers, exhaled nitric oxide levels could be a marker for airway inflammation after exposure to high peaks of ozone (Olin et al. 2004).

Monitoring Methods used by OSHA

Laboratory Sampling/Analytical Method:

sampling media: Two Impregnated Glass Fiber Filters (37mm polystyrene cassette) coated with a solution containing NaNO2, K2CO3 and Glycerol in water
maximum volume: 90 Liters
maximum flow rate: 0.5 L/min
maximum time: 180 Minutes
current analytical method: Ion Chromatography; IC
method reference: OSHA Analytical Method (OSHA 214)
method classification: Fully Validated
notes:
If the expected ozone concentration exceeds 0.2 ppm, the recommended maximum sampling rate is 0.25 L/min and the recommended maximum sampling time is 180 min.
Short-term exposures can be monitored with a 15-min sample at maximum flow rate of 1.5 L/min.
Four-hour (480 min) samples can be collected at a maximum flow rate of 0.25 L/min.
OSHA personnel can request the sampling medium from SLTC.
The sampling medium must be used within 30 days of preparation.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a sampling interference, and oxidizer tubes must be used if SO2 is suspected to be present.
The sampling medium is shipped from SLTC in cassettes and each cassette is individually sealed in an aluminumized plastic bag to prevent contamination. Each exposed sampler must be returned for analysis also sealed in an aluminumized plastic bag.
