Introduction

Ozone is a form of oxygen that can be beneficial in the upper atmosphere but harmful when present indoors in high concentrations. It is crucial to manage ozone levels inside homes and buildings to maintain healthy air quality. Various sources contribute to indoor ozone, and understanding these can guide effective reduction strategies.

Causes of Indoor Ozone

Indoor ozone can originate from outdoor air seeping into buildings or from indoor sources such as certain electronic devices and air purifiers that intentionally produce ozone as a byproduct. Standard levels of indoor ozone range between 2-30 parts per billion (ppb), but can increase significantly with improper management.

Strategies to Reduce Indoor Ozone Levels

Ventilation Improvements

Increasing air exchange rates can help reduce indoor ozone concentrations. Effective ventilation involves strategically opening windows and using exhaust fans to promote the influx of fresh air while expelling indoor pollutants.

Air Purification Systems

Using air purifiers equipped with activated carbon filters can effectively absorb ozone. It’s crucial to select air purifiers with a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) that matches the size of the room, typically 80-400 cubic feet per minute (CFM) for residential areas.

Using Natural Materials

Introducing indoor plants that absorb ozone, such as spider plants and pothos, can aid in lowering ozone levels. These plants can reduce indoor ozone levels by up to 10%, improving overall air quality.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance of HVAC systems ensures filters are clean and effectively reducing ozone. Replacing filters every 3-6 months is advisable to maintain optimal performance.
