We use UV lamps to cure       coatings and inks. The lamps are very good at generating ozone as a       byproduct. Every now and then, the exhaust ducting would fail and operators       would begin to complain about        headaches, eye irritation and itchiness. One trip to the affected area tells       me immediately what the problem is. We've measured levels from 0.08 (max       recommended over 8 hours) to 1.5 ppm (nasty). Shutting down the lamps and       getting maintenance to fix        the exhaust is an easy solution.              Dean              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
