Can Gas Detectors Detect Ozone?
Can the gas detector detect ozone? Now, the ozone in the troposphere of the gas detector has been determined as a polluting gas by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Studies have shown that the ozone concentration in the air is usually 0.012ppm (1ppm is one part per million), which can cause itchy skin, irritation of the eyes, nasal cavity, and respiratory tract, affected lung function, and symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Monitoring data from the health departments of some cities in the United States shows that when the ozone level in the air increases to 0.05ppm, the number of hospital admissions increases by an average of 7% to 10%.
How does the gas detector detect ozone?
1. Press the power button of the gas detector, wait for 30-60 seconds, and after the gas detector is fully started, all the values on the display will display normally.
2. Put the hand-held gas detector in the environment to be detected and wait for about 3 minutes. After the gas detector fully detects the concentration of ozone gas leakage in the environment, the specific concentration value of ozone gas will be displayed on the display.
3. After using the gas detector, in addition to normal shutdown and timely charging and battery life, it is also necessary to perform effective maintenance on the gas detector: usually the value is reset to zero, the instrument is cleaned, especially the position of the sensor on the head of the gas detector , It is necessary to clean up the dust in time, because many on-site operating environments are relatively harsh, and small particles of dust can easily cause blockage of the gas detector sensor and affect the sensitivity of the detector.

Can a gas detector detect ozone?
Can a gas detector detect ozone? Then, how did ozone complete its transformation from a protective umbrella to a "health killer"? It starts with the ultra-active chemical properties of ozone. Ozone has strong reactivity and is easy to decompose. It can oxidize silver into silver oxide and lead sulfide into lead sulfate at room temperature. As a strong oxidant, ozone can react with almost any biological tissue. When ozone is inhaled into the airways, it reacts with the cells, fluids and tissues in the airways, resulting in weakened lung function and tissue damage. For people suffering from asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis, the damage of ozone is more significant.
