Abstract

[722 INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE Ozonization of Air.-Ozone traces in the atmosphere. AND OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES may exist, in Ozone, which is oxygen in an allotropic and highly active condition, is absent from town air; and it is doubtful whether it anywhere exists as a constituent of the atmosphere of any real importance. This composition is, as regards the four gases which compose almost the entire bulk of ordinary air, remarkably uniform in every part of the world. Even in the midst of large cities, where the atmosphere is being polluted in many ways, the air of open spaces differs but very slightly in the proportion of its constituent gases from the air on the open plains, inountains, or seas, which is far removed from such sources of contamination. Ozonization of air "has been recommended for the deodorization of foul atmospheres and for the destruction of the organic matters and living microbes that may be present in such air. The amount of ozone in the air, which is produced by the use of the apparatus of the Ozonair Company, is ordinarily from 1 to 5 parts per million, the limit for comfortable respiration being about 10 parts per million; above this
