There are so many hazards of ozone vegetable washing machines

The ozone vegetable washing machine is a recently invented tool and has not yet been fully used. This tool can indeed bring certain help to people, and can also remove bacteria and some microorganisms in vegetables, but it is also harmful. Once the ozone is destroyed, it will harm the human body and damage the skin.

1. Working principle of ozone household vegetable washing machine

Ozone household vegetable washing machines use the strong oxidizing properties of ozone to oxidize some bacteria and microorganisms.

The Ozone Industry Association sets hygiene standards:

International Ozone Association: 0.1ppm

United States: 0.1ppm

Germany, France, Japan and other countries: 0.1ppm

China: 0.15ppm

The concentration of 0.15ppm is the critical value of smell, which can be smelled by most people and is also the hygiene standard point. In other words, when it can be smelled, it exceeds the hygiene standard point and will be harmful to the human body:

①Ozone can also hinder the blood's oxygen transport function, causing tissue hypoxia.

②Ozone can cause nerve poisoning, dizziness, headache, decreased vision and memory loss.

③It strongly irritates the human respiratory tract, causing sore throat, chest tightness, cough, and triggering bronchitis and emphysema.

④ It can cause damage to thyroid function and bone calcification, and may also cause potential systemic effects, such as inducing lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations, damaging the activity of certain enzymes and producing hemolytic reactions.

⑤ Ozone can destroy the vitamin E in human skin, causing wrinkles and dark spots.

⑥Ozone can also damage the human immune function, induce lymphocyte chromosomal changes, accelerate aging, and cause pregnant women to give birth to deformed babies.

⑦ High voltage (several kV to tens of kV) generated by corona discharge during the ozone generation process of household vegetable washing machines

The electric field not only excites oxygen to produce ozone, but also has enough energy to excite nitrogen oxides.

Nitrogen oxides include a variety of compounds, such as nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (N0), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen trioxide (N203), nitrogen tetroxide (N204) and nitrogen pentoxide (N205).

Except for nitrogen dioxide, other nitrogen oxides are extremely unstable. When exposed to light, moisture or heat, they turn into nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide, and nitric oxide turns into nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide is listed as a possible carcinogen by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Bromine is commonly found in water.

When ozone is used to disinfect water, bromide reacts with ozone and oxidizes to form bromate. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that there is sufficient evidence to prove that bromate can cause cancer in experimental animals, and therefore classifies bromate as a substance that is probably carcinogenic to humans. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Canadian Ministry of Health have also listed bromate as a substance that may be carcinogenic to humans.
