In the process of cosmetics production, it is crucial to ensure the cleanliness and disinfection of the production environment. Especially inside the workshop, in order to ensure product quality and employee health, regular or continuous ozone disinfection is usually required. As a strong oxidant, ozone plays an important role in disinfection and sterilization in the cosmetics workshop. However, excessive ozone concentration can also cause serious harm to the human body. How to accurately monitor and control the concentration during ozone disinfection has become a problem worthy of attention. At this time, ozone sensors play a key role.
1. The importance of ozone disinfection
Ozone, a strong oxidant, has a strong disinfection and sterilization ability. In the cosmetics workshop, by releasing ozone, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air can be effectively killed, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the production environment. However, too high or too low ozone concentration may affect the disinfection effect and even cause harm to human health. Therefore, accurate monitoring and control of ozone concentration has become an important part of the disinfection process.
2. The harm of excessive ozone concentration
In the cosmetics workshop, excessive ozone concentration may lead to a series of safety hazards and hazards. First, ozone can irritate the human respiratory tract, causing symptoms such as coughing and chest tightness, and in severe cases may even cause respiratory diseases. This effect is particularly significant for employees who work in the workshop for a long time. Secondly, ozone can also damage the skin, causing dryness and itching of the skin, and even causing diseases such as dermatitis. In the cosmetics industry, the skin health of employees is directly related to the quality of the product and the smooth progress of the production process. In addition, excessive ozone concentrations may also cause serious accidents such as fires or explosions. Ozone is a flammable and explosive gas that may produce violent chemical reactions when in contact with some organic matter, causing fires or explosions.
3. Ozone safety standards
In order to ensure the safe production of cosmetics workshops, countries have formulated corresponding ozone safety standards. The following are several common ozone safety standards:
The Industrial Hygiene Standards formulated by my country’s Ministry of Health in 1979 stipulate that the safety standard for ozone is 0.15ppm. This standard is set to protect the health of employees, and exceeding this concentration may cause damage to the health of employees.
The US standard stipulates that personnel can work for 8 hours at a concentration of 0.1ppm. This standard is based on the health considerations of employees who are exposed to ozone for a long time.
The International Ozone Association stipulates that in professional indoor ozone applications, a concentration of 0.1ppm is allowed to work for 10 hours. This standard is to ensure the safety of using ozone in specific environments.
When the ozone concentration reaches 0.5-1ppm, people may feel discomfort, such as dry mouth, etc. Therefore, within this concentration range, the permitted exposure time should be limited to less than 1.5 hours.
IV. Application of ozone sensors in cosmetic workshops
In cosmetic workshops, ozone sensors are widely used for monitoring and control of ozone disinfection. By installing ozone sensors, the ozone concentration in the workshop can be monitored in real time and the data can be transmitted to the control system. When the ozone concentration exceeds the preset value, the control system will automatically adjust the output of the ozone generator to reduce the ozone concentration; when the ozone concentration is lower than the preset value, the control system will increase the output of the ozone generator to improve the disinfection effect. In this way, it can be ensured that the ozone concentration in the workshop is always kept within a safe and effective range. Sensors such as ozone sensor O3-AH / O3 sensor OX-B431 can be selected , which use electrochemical principles to detect ozone in the air and have good selectivity and stability.
In addition, the ozone sensor can also be connected to the alarm system. When the ozone concentration exceeds the safety threshold, the alarm system will immediately sound an alarm to remind employees to take necessary measures. This intelligent monitoring and control method not only improves the disinfection effect, but also ensures the safety and health of employees.
