Seminar 14: Reducing Ozone: A Critical Factor in Improving IAQ
Summary:
Ozone has adverse health effects such as lung diseases, asthma and increased mortality. Moreover, ozone oxidation byproducts such as carbonyls, formaldehyde and secondary organic aerosols can be more harmful than ozone itself. ASHRAE Standard 62.1- 2019: Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, requires the minimum ozone removal efficiency to be 40%, and that the ozone concentration limit be lowered down to 100 ppb. It is critically important to reduce the ozone concentration in indoor environments.
