Reduce Ozone - It kills your memory in prolonged use

Sorry can you explain that again I forgot what you were saying!!!

It is as good as that.

I noticed that when I was working with 100W UV lamp conducting some experiments on photo-ionization in ionic crystals. This experiment was conducted for days and I used to be near the lamp for a while. I started forgetting things like what is in my pocket or when I need to leave the work place etc. Then I went and referred the permitted Ozone level in air for human inhaling and was shocked to look at figures in ppb level and that too for only an hour. I was inhaling for days and some damage was already done.

After stopping that, for several days or months the effect still existed and finally to good level I recovered. Perhaps new neuron took over as rescue to what I wanted consciously.

If one keeps exposing to UV, then one may not find rescue neurons in the head cell.

Some people may never need neurons and can work intuitively like many simple animals. Perhaps Ark welders may become like them and they will keep welding for life and will forget everything else.

Shyam, thanks for this info. I like your idea of information on hazards being more readily available. I hope welders are also aware of the harmful effects of hexavalent chromium.

I knew of one person who used to breathe the air emitted from one of those ionizing air gadgets. It would have helped her greatly if she had been aware of such dangers sooner.

Mmmmm.... perhaps it isn't the ozon... maybe you're just getting older

. . . hmmmmm

I need to remove that arc welder those fluorescent lamps from my bedroom as I shouted out the wrong name the other night during certain tender moments. But this sad Ozone rich story doesn't end there . . . . . . the sad thing is . . . . I was all alone ! Well, I think I was . . . I cant remember.

Thank you for the information, this was a wake up for me. Does anyone know a cheap but accurate ozone detector?

Here are some sites. Actually, I worry about but don't monitor Ozone for degradation of Nitrile (Buna N) seals.

You can build a cheap ozone detector called: Schoenbein Paper Preparation

HERE IS THE LINK.

I tried it and it works fine.

By the way, I had being drinking ozonisated water for about 3 years (with a home made ozonisator about 300 mg/hr ozone production, 3 glasses of water per day), I use it for allergy problems and work fine (I don use any allergy medication any more), and one more thing I also noticed is that I had not got a cold for the 3 years I had being using it..

Or maybe I fortogot how it feels one???

Ozone can kill some inflamation bacteria also as it is a killer. People with Hay fever may find it useful for time being. However for other healthy people it may just be the other way out. In any way, it will affect the brain of all.

This is very interesting can you give some references for you discovery or have you forgotten-this revelation will change medical sciences' thinking about such things as Parkinson's Disease,Curu-Curu, Mad Cow Disease ,Scrapie in sheep, the whole existence of Prions and let us not forget (he -he!) Dementia.

I sat to close to a Cat the other day and started wanting to hunt mice-so I put out a mouse trap!

I know it sound too good to be true, and I was as much as skeptical as you, but since I already spent a fortune in allergy medications, I just gave it a try, and it worked. Some other people that I recommed it also had the same benefits.

There is plenty information in the web about medica applications of ozone, here it is a good start:

It think that the cubans and germans had done a lot of serious research about it.

But as in all topics, there is also the mad "conspiration" idea, that the big medical co. are responsable of blocking the ozone medical application.. . too extreme

But, what I was telling you about it??

Dear Friends - (Ref: AERIAS)

Ozone is an irritating and corrosive gas that is usually colorless but becomes blue at high concentrations. It occurs naturally in the atmosphere because of thunderstorms. In the stratosphere (6 miles to 30 miles up in the air), ozone plays an important role in screening out harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun that can result in health problems such as increased skin cancers. But down at earth level and indoors it is considered a pollutant due to emissions of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It can also react with VOCs in the air to produce harmful byproducts such as formaldehyde. Often cities will issue air-pollution alerts when levels of ozone reach unhealthy levels. Studies have shown that people living in communities where there are high ozone levels have worse lung functions over five years than people living in communities with lower levels of ozone. These studies are consistent with animal studies, which also indicate that long-term exposure to ozone can impair lung function and cause structural changes to the lungs. Ozone is an indoor air pollutant because it is an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.

Health problems caused by ozone can either be acute, which occur immediately or within a few days of exposure, or they can be chronic, which are long-term health effects that last for many years. For example, repeated low-level exposure can cause long-term, and possibly permanent, lung damage.

Occasional exposure to 9 ppm for 3 to 14 days has produced inflammation of the bronchi and lungs. Exposure to 11 ppm ozone for 15 minutes causes severe respiratory irritation and unconsciousness. A 30-minute exposure to 50 ppm or more can be deadly.

Ozone is produced from: Photo copiers,Laser printers, Electric arc welding, Outdoor pollution, Electroplating, Mercury vapor lamps, X-ray generators, Electrostatic air cleaners, High voltage electrical equipment, Indoor ultraviolet sources.

Ozone can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Higher exposures to ozone (0.25 ppm to 1 ppm) may result in: Cough, Shortness of breath, Tightness of the chest with a feeling of an inability to breath.e, Dry throat, Wheezing, Headache, Upset stomach; nausea and/or vomiting, Reduced lung function, Pain or tightness in the chest, Extreme fatigue, Dizziness, Inability to sleep or concentrate, A bluish color to the skin due to lack of oxygen to the cells of the body (cyanosis), A build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) – (This is a medical emergency, with severe shortness of breath. This may not appear for 24 hours after exposure and can be brought on by physical exertion such as work or exercise.)

Hi Grage

That is a lot of information and perhaps only small secret about Ozone.

Wow if australian air is that dangerous, i wonder how the people in LA can remember their way to work every day.

A number of members on this forum - myself included - are Tesla coil enthusiasts. TCs generate copious amounts of ozone. And boy do I mean copious! Ample, not just adequate, ventilation is a must if you are running your TC indoors - such as in a garage or outbuilding. As an example, the first time I ran my new TC (a 2.5 m high, 350 kV beastie), the next morning every unprotected iron or steel surface in the garage was coated in a patina of rust. After twenty minutes of operation my eyes were bloodshot. It wasn't the UV, as I was wearing protective goggles; it was the ozone.

Tesla Coil enthusiasts take note: ozone in such quantities is poisonous, regardless of other, perhaps delayed, effects it may have.

On the plus side, every trace of exposed mold or mildew in my garage (I lived in an area of high humidity) disappeared within a week. All my other attempts to eradicate it failed.

Good post, Shyam.

Dear Europium

Actual damage to the eye by radiation becomes evident only after latency of five years in the form of cataract but Ozone kills the brain and is highly corrosive gas. It may also do other harms like causing cancer risk etc other than somatic problems like lung and skin inflammation. Perhaps experts can tell in greater details.

Tesla coil information is interesting one. Nice that you have added it here.

Problem with Ozone is that you may never recover fully and do never notice when damage is done. Silent killer it is. Perhaps only some inflammation and giddiness indicate that something is wrong and you think of something else at that time as Ozone is not what you were looking for. In fact you never think that seriously of Ozone unless EPA tells you that 70 parts per billion per hours is all you may have if you wish.

Hey! Have I been here before?
