Is bromine oxide harmful to human body?

Bromine oxide, also known as ozone, can cause certain harm to the human body. For example, it can cause optic nerve poisoning in patients, leading to a decline in the human visual system. Memory function can also fail due to ozone invasion. In severe cases, the body's vitamin E will also be greatly damaged. Without the protection of vitamins, human skin will gradually age and may even cause lymphocytoma problems.

Low concentration of ozone can be used for disinfection, but excessive ozone is an invisible killer!

▲ It strongly irritates the human respiratory tract, causing sore throat, chest tightness and cough, and triggering bronchitis and emphysema;

▲ Ozone can cause nerve poisoning, dizziness, headache, decreased vision, and memory loss;

▲ Ozone can damage the vitamin E in human skin, causing wrinkles and dark spots on the skin;

▲ Ozone can also damage the human immune function, induce lymphocyte chromosome changes, accelerate aging, and cause pregnant women to give birth to deformed babies;

▲ The ozone and organic waste gas produced by the heating of copier toner is a strong carcinogen, which can cause various cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

The strong oxidizing property of ozone is harmful to human health. It is generally believed that after ozone is inhaled into the body, it can be rapidly converted into a highly active free radical - superoxide (O2-), which mainly oxidizes unsaturated fatty acids and causes cell damage.

Ozone can increase the amount of arachidonic acid in the lipid peroxidation process of human respiratory epithelial cells, thereby causing inflammatory lesions in the upper respiratory tract. Studies on volunteers have shown that after 2 hours of exposure to 0.09ppm ozone, vital capacity, forced vital capacity and forced vital capacity in one second decreased significantly; when the concentration reached 0.15ppm, more than 80% of people felt irritation to the eyes and nasal mucosa, and 100% experienced headaches and chest discomfort.

Since ozone can cause upper respiratory tract inflammation and damage the cilia of the terminal bronchiolar epithelium, thereby weakening the defense function of the upper respiratory tract, long-term exposure to a certain concentration of ozone can easily lead to secondary upper respiratory tract infections. When the ozone concentration is 2 ppm, short-term exposure can cause respiratory irritation, coughing, and headaches.
