Disinfection Effect of Ozone on Natural Bacteria in Indoor Air and Central Air Condition Ductwork / 环境与健康杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the disinfection effect of ozone on the natural bacteria in indoor air and the central air condition ductwork. Methods Ozonizer was installed on the outlet of central air condition main pipeline and when it began to send breeze, ozone was taken to each branch piping and each room. Then, at the vents of pipeline and in the rooms, the quantity of the natural germs was examined before and after disinfection respectively. The death rate was calculated. Results After 60 minutes of ozone disinfection, the death rate of the natural germs at the vents of central air condition was 60%-90%, that of indoor air was -40.00%-71.43%. Conclusion Ozone can effectively kill the natural germs in ductwork of central air condition, but when the concentration of ozone is lower and there are people in the room, the efficiency will decrease.
