Ozone Solubility in Water and Its Potential Health Impact

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the solubility of ozone in water, specifically in the context of a 60-liter tank filled with tap water and the potential health impacts of ozone inhalation. Participants explore the dynamics of ozone saturation, diffusion, and methods to manage ozone levels in the water.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether ozone gas will diffuse out of the saturated water into the atmosphere, expressing concern about inhalation risks.
  • Another participant suggests that if the tank is open, there will likely be some ozone leakage, but the extent of this leakage and its potential harm remains uncertain.
  • A participant seeks advice on how to maintain low levels of undissolved ozone in the water solution.
  • One response indicates that monitoring the concentration of ozone and adding more when it falls below a certain level could help manage the concentration, but does not clarify how to control the upper limit.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the extent of ozone leakage or its potential health impacts. Multiple viewpoints on managing ozone levels and concerns about inhalation risks remain present.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the assumptions regarding the tank's pressure conditions or the specific dynamics of ozone concentration changes over time.

Hi everyone

Let say i have a 60 liters water tank filled with tap water (no fluoride). And i keep this 60 liters of water saturated with ozone at 600 ORP for 24 hours. The saturation method is just simple airstone zone diffusing method.
so, will this ozone gas leaks(or diffuse out) out to the atmosphere from the ozone saturated water?

i am asking this because I am worried about the ozone inhaling problem.

Thank you

I assume tank is opened (otherwise you wouldn't be able to use an airstone because of the pressure buildup). If so, there will be definitely some ozone leaks. Whether they will be large enough for the ozone to be harmful is another question.
 
Hi Borek
Thank you for your reply.
Do you have any idea how to make keep the un-dissolved ozone level low in the water solutions?

Thank you
 
Not sure what your question is. In general to keep the concentration at some level you should monitor it and add ozone when the concentration goes under the lower limit. With some knowledge about dynamics of the concentration changes there is no need to monitor the upper limit.
