More information on ozone exposure:

Ozone (O3) is a strong oxidizing gas; although it protects the atmosphere from UV radiation, it is toxic when inhaled. Ozone irritates the respiratory system and can cause severe symptoms even at low concentrations.

Most common occupational exposure sources:

• Welding and cutting processes
• UV light sources (e.g., photocopiers, lasers, disinfection lights)
• Electrical discharge equipment
• Ozonation devices for water treatment or air purification

Health effects:

• Respiratory symptoms: coughing, throat irritation, shortness of breath
• Worsening of asthma
• Inflammation of the airways and reduced lung function
• Headache and fatigue
• Long-term exposure: Possible permanent lung damage

Limit values in Finland (HTP values 2023):

• 8-hour average: 0.1 ppm = 0.2 mg/m³
• 15-minute limit: 0.3 ppm = 0.6 mg/m³

These values are set by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure they are not exceeded.
