Re: question for you
hi finallyfaith
The term mg/hr refers to the amount of ozone an ozone generator produces per hour in molecular weight of ozone. Parts per million is the dilution of ozone in air or number of ozone molecules per million parts of air. There is no real corelation when we speak of ozone use in air, because of far too many variables involved.In one room a machine that produces 50 mg/hr might produce 1 ppm of ozone within an hour, but in a more polluted room of the same size where the ozone has more molecules to react with, it may only produce .03 ppm. in the same hour.
What you need to determine is the level of ozone your body is capable of accepting, and this is generally done with experimentation. Clear signs of the body reacting to too much ozone at any given time are tightness in the chest, coughing, laboured breathing, headache,sore thraot and others. These are indications of ozone challenging the body to rid itself of toxins rapidly as they are oxidised in the lungs. With time, one will find that one can take greater and greater levels of ozone without discomfort.
A clear sunny day in California will yield as much as 10 ppm ozone in the air. The more polluted the environment, the more ozone Mother Nature produces with the same amount of sunlight.This is why we have ozone alerts instead of pollution alerts. Like the canary in the mine, the scientists have conveniently tied this scientific fact to make the uninformed afraid of ozone, not pollution. Interesting.
Hope this helps
