5D.i Ozone Monitors
Ambient ozone monitoring/control equipment (available from Absolute
Ozone®) should be installed in the areas where ozone is being gener-
ated or applied. In a case when ambient ozone concentration reaches
or becomes higher than 0.05 ppm, the ozone monitor/controller should
switch the power of the ozone generator off and produce a warning
audio/visible signal to allow people to clear the room and to avoid high
concentration ozone exposure.
5D.ii Ventilation
It is mandatory that general and local exhaust ventilation be provided
to dilute and disperse small amounts of ozone into the outside atmo-
sphere. Federal, state, and local regulations must be followed.
5D.iii Emergency Procedure
Due to the short life of ozone, evacuation and ventilation are all that
is generally required in the event of a high ambient ozone alarm. All
ozone generating and delivery equipment should be shut down (manu-
ally or automatically by alarm) and a high-speed fan activated
to dilute and disperse ozone into the atmosphere. Personnel should
leave the affected area until levels are returned to below 0.1 ppm.
5D.iv Respiratory Protection
A disposable respirator (3M #N95 8214/8514 - Minneapolis, MN,
www.3m.com) is recommended for relief against ozone levels up to 10
times the OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational exposure
limits, whichever is lower.
