Subject | Support for regulation to limit indoor ozone emissions |
Comment | I strongly support the adoption of a regulation to limit ozone emissions from indoor air cleaning devices. My reasons in support of this proposed regulation mirror those already stated by Professors Nazaroff and Corsi. For almost twenty years I, together with my co-workers, have investigated reactions between ozone and other chemicals commonly found indoors. Evidence is accumulating that some of the resulting products of ozone chemistry are even more harmful than ozone itself (see attached paper that recently appeared in Environmental Health Perspective titled "Ozone’s Impact on Public Health: Contributions from Indoor Exposures to Ozone and Products of Ozone-Initiated Chemistry"). Even 50 ppb of ozone is sufficient to have meaningful undesirable consequences in terms of indoor chemistry. |
