Macherey-Nagel, 90736, Ozone Test Sticks, Box of 12 Strips. Determination of Ozone in air.

The Macherey-Nagel Ozone Test Sticks are a convenient and reliable solution for determining ozone levels in the air. Ozone, a colorless toxic gas, can be harmful to our health, causing respiratory complaints and irritations to the eyes and mucous membranes. It's essential to be aware of ozone concentrations, especially for sensitive individuals who should avoid strenuous physical activities when the ozone content exceeds 180 micrograms/m3. Unlike the data provided by public media, which represents ozone concentrations near specific measuring stations, these test sticks allow you to measure ozone levels in your immediate surroundings.

This is crucial because ozone values can significantly differ due to various factors like wind, solar radiation, and vehicle exhaust gases. To use the Macherey-Nagel Ozone Test Sticks, simply place a test stick in the open air, ensuring it's protected from wind. You can secure it with a piece of adhesive tape if needed. After 10 minutes, compare the color of the test field with the designated color scale on the container.

The scale provides a gradation of ozone concentrations: less than 90 micrograms/m3, 90-150 micrograms/m3, 150-210 micrograms/m3, and greater than 210 micrograms/m3. It's important to note that other oxidizing reagents such as chlorine can cause a similar color change and simulate higher ozone values. The measuring ranges specified are valid for a relative atmospheric humidity of 30% to 60%, and extreme humidity conditions outside this range can affect the accuracy of the results. This box of Macherey-Nagel Ozone Test Sticks contains 12 strips, allowing you to perform multiple ozone tests. With these test sticks, you can easily monitor ozone concentrations in your local environment and take appropriate precautions to safeguard your well-being.

Don't rely solely on general ozone content information; be informed about the specific levels in your surroundings with Macherey-Nagel Ozone Test Sticks.
