American Ecotech - Ozone Analyzer - Ozone Monitoring Equipment
Ozone (O3) is a colorless gas which has both beneficial and detrimental effects to human health depending on where it is found. Because it may have a detrimental effect, an O3 Monitor (Ozone Monitor) is sometimes necessary. In the upper atmosphere, “good” ozone serves to filter the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays which would otherwise render life in this planet impossible. However, at lower levels in the atmosphere “bad” or ground level ozone (formed by the reaction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons or volatile organic compounds, and UV light) can lead to lung irritation and asthma, as well as contribute other cardiopulmonary illnesses. Especially vulnerable to the effects of ground level ozone are children and the elderly, and therefore businesses and governments are interested in O3 Monitoring (Ozone Monitoring).
Because of the recognized health effects of ground level ozone, the U.S. EPA has established a national ambient primary ozone standard. Originally set at 0.08 ppm (8-hour average), a review of ozone related health effects lead the EPA in 2008 to revise the primary standard down to 0.075 ppm. This change in the standard has brought many regions of the county into non-attainment for ozone.
American Ecotech features three models for ozone monitoring:
