Is your nose the best ozone detector?

13 7 月 Is your nose the best ozone detector?

Can you tell if it’s safe by just smelling?

Dr. Xu from OxyTree Forest Aion told us an interesting fact: when you can smell the unique “fresh” odor of ozone, the concentration is approximately 0.02 ppm. What does this number mean?

• Safety threshold: There is a 7.5-fold buffer space from the concentration harmful to the human body (0.15 ppm).
• Natural alarm: Your olfactory system is like a precise early warning device.
• Simple judgment: If you can’t smell it, it’s safe; if you can smell it, there is a lot of ozone, and it’s time to ventilate!

But don’t rely entirely on your nose!
Although this method is practical, please note:

1. Olfactory sensitivity varies from person to person.
2. Long-term exposure may reduce olfactory sensitivity, so it is recommended to find several people to test.
3. The safest way is to regularly detect with professional equipment.

Tips: If you buy a new air purifier or negative ion product, you can deliberately smell it when using it for the first time to establish your own “odor baseline”.

Remember, your nose is a good initial detection tool, but for 100% peace of mind, it is recommended to combine other detection methods!
