Ozone Solubility in Water and Its Potential Health Impact

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the solubility of ozone in water and its potential health impacts, specifically in a 60-liter tank saturated with ozone at 600 ORP using an airstone diffusion method. Participants confirm that ozone will leak from the open tank into the atmosphere, raising concerns about inhalation risks. To manage ozone levels in the water, it is recommended to monitor concentrations and add ozone as needed to maintain desired levels, without the necessity of monitoring the upper limit.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ozone solubility dynamics
  • Familiarity with oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measurements
  • Knowledge of gas diffusion principles
  • Experience with water treatment methods using airstone diffusers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for reducing ozone gas diffusion from water
  • Learn about monitoring techniques for ozone concentration in water
  • Explore the health effects of ozone inhalation
  • Investigate advanced water treatment technologies for ozone application
USEFUL FOR

Water treatment professionals, health and safety regulators, and anyone involved in ozone application for disinfection or treatment processes.

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.
