Air fresheners based on the principle of ozonation of air can oxidize organic products in the air, but at the same time, can cause health problems, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net The high concentration of microparticles that are formed as a result of ozonation can aggravate asthma and cardiovascular diseases. But in addition, they can be associated with the development of lung cancer and the frequency of death of people.

Excessive ozonation of air damages the lung tissue and causes chest pain, coughing, stiffness,. Flavors that give ozonized air a smell of lemon also pollute the air with chemicals that are not indifferent to human health.

According to the assistant professor of chemistry at the University of California, Sergey Nizkorodov, the public should remember that all cleaners and household appliances have their own limitations and air ozonizers - also.

They not only increase the level of ozone - polluting in large quantities of air, but also increase the amount of harmful microparticles, which are already full of air.

Sergey Nizkorodov and his colleagues conducted an experiment: he put an air purifier in a furnished office and watched the air condition before and after adding the flavor by sampling.

For comparison, two different types of ionizer were tested:

ionic and operating by ozonolysis. The first produced about 2 grams of ozone per hour, the second - about 100 milligrams.

Without adding flavor, the instruments had virtually no effect on the amount of fine particles polluting the air in the office, and when added, the amount of pollutants increased more than 100 times. If the room is aromatized without ozonization, the number of particles remains the same, indicating a low ozonation efficiency.
