Ozone could be dangerous, but it is safe when used properly. There is no reason to fear ozone. Low levels of ozone are all around us and are safe to breathe.Overly high ozone exposure in an occupied room is not recommended. We use the right amount of ozone in our systems.It is very important for JIMCO to control over the ozone level since we care a lot about people’s health and safety.
It is true that the lungs might be affected by the continuous influence of ozone air, however, it is a question of concentrations. The EU has a limit on how much ozone is allowed to be in a room, where people are present. This limit is 0,1 ppm (the same limit as the Danish Working Environment Service has set) and this is a considerably high level. Normally, there is no reason to have such a high level.
If only a small amount of ozone is present, you have an oxidation potential resulting in an improved indoor climate. We recommend using the MAC500 in offices and in private homes. Larger rooms can be treated with the compact cleaner OZ1000 without danger to your health as large rooms demand more ozone for the correct treatment.
It is important to stress, that ozone is an important part of our nature and that people cannot survive without this kind of gas. However, you must also be aware that ozone is an oxidizing agent and therefore one shall use ozone with care. As mentioned in the above there are no problems connected to the use of compact cleaners under normal circumstances.
For 25 years JIMCO A/S has developed machines producing the most environmentally friendly form of ozone. The technique is based on UV-light that is developed from the ozone-producing rays of the sun. This means that only clean ozone is produced and not the form of ozone produced in high-voltage-production units such as Xerox machines, welding units etc., where dangerous Nitric Oxide (NOX) is produced besides ozone. NOX can enter into the blood resulting in serious damage to the human body.
Yes, direct exposure to UV-C light is dangerous, it can cause rapid sunburn and skin cancer. Exposure of the eyes to this UV radiation can produce extremely painful inflammation of the cornea and temporary or permanent vision impairment, up to and including blindness in some cases.
It’s so important that UV-C light is shielded and protected by special equipment, and that’s exactly what Jimco does with all the systems using UV-C light. Safety is the highest priority for JIMCO.
